HYPERV FIXES LAND ALONGSIDE CRYPTO BUILD PATCH

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Linux

Linus pulled VMBus unload fixes and MSHV driver updates while crypto subsystem squashes an s390 build failure that was breaking random configs.

The main event overnight was a batch of Hyper-V infrastructure fixes [1] addressing MSHV driver stability and allowing VMBus to unload cleanly after frame buffer flush - critical for systems cycling Hyper-V guests. Parallel to that, crypto maintainer Herbert Xu merged a targeted s390 fix [2] that restores random config builds on that architecture by adding missing CRYPTO_AEAD selection. Over in user-facing tools, ArchLinux's installer got a UX overhaul [3] that color-codes the install preview in red for errors, yellow for warnings, and green for ready state, moving network validation earlier into the workflow so users catch issues before hitting the final confirmation button. The change is backward compatible with existing preview panels. Meanwhile, Basecamp's Omarchy infrastructure shifted from dust to dua-cli [4] for disk usage inspection, trading static output for an interactive TUI that keeps the same speed.
