Working fine here.

The lockdown-related warnings at boot that were present in 6.12.12 are gone, as someone mentioned earlier.

Some of the power-state changes have made it more difficult to disable the NMI watchdog via /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog just after booting, as some users do to save power. I had been relying on tlp to do this, but the setting does not persist now.

A related note on the upcoming 6.13.x series -- jforbes built kernel-6.13.2-200.fc41 in https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2653859 at about the same time as this build. Despite some of the general power-saving AMD graphics-related bugfixes in the latest build, kernel-6.13.x, up to and including kernel-6.13.2-200.fc41, seems not to be able to properly configure my Bonaire (GFX7, VCN 2nd Gen., Sea Islands) dGPU when using the amdgpu driver -- I'm seeing the following error messages at boot, with radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1:

... [drm:amdgpu_device_ip_set_powergating_state [amdgpu]] ERROR set_powergating_state of IP block <vce_v2_0> failed -22 ... amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: amdgpu: failed to send message 146 ret is 0

And there are large regressions in performance:

As the above numbers suggest, these regressions are not present in 6.12.x and earlier, up to and including kernel-6.12.13-200.fc41 (even though this shares some of the same recent power-saving and AMD graphics-related bugfixes as 6.13.2); nor are they present in the radeonsi driver. Unfortunately, the latter driver is less capable than amdgpu, so this is a considerable loss. I don't have other AMD GPUs to test if this is happening on other hardware. Please let me know if you'd like me to provide additional feedback elsewhere.

Framework 16 has a crash on the amdgpu driver:

amdgpu 0000:c5:00.0: [drm] REG_WAIT timeout 1us * 100 tries - dcn31_program_compbuf_size line:141

The 'good' news is that the system recovers from that crash and is working properly (afaik).

Works

AMD Ryzen 5. Both tests did PASS on a second test to confirm a fail I had on the the first run. On the first attempt ./default/cachedrop FAILED. Performance was a PASS.

Again for confirmation on the second attempt both tests did PASS.

lenovo p16s amd gen2 : all working fine. kernel tests ran and uploaded. i am using amdgpu (i have a 7840U + 780M) but i am not having any issues with the 780M with this kernel.

i did run the same test as you on my 780M. but since this is the first time i do it, i dont really know what it means.
