HAWK exits and McEliece parameters buckle under fresh attacks
An AI-assisted lattice reduction forces HAWK out of the NIST signature round while quasipolynomial results leave Classic McEliece's proposed sizes without defenders.

By kexecGoogle's v5 series preserves Intel VT-d and iommufd domain state so assigned devices can survive a kernel live update without dropping translations.
By oopsPasha Tatashin’s early OrphanVM proof of concept preserves physical CPUs so vCPUs keep executing while the host kernel is replaced.
By oopsHost and target support for Rapid Path Failure Recovery lets multipath NVMe fence a dead path before failover, avoiding double completion and data corruption.
By kexecYonghong Song's bpf-next series lets bpf_throw() run compiler-emitted landing pads so frames can release locks and owned objects on the way out.
