Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: heap overflow in nft_set_elem_init() (CVE-2022-34918) * kernel: vulnerability of buffer overflow in nft_set_desc_concat_parse() (CVE-2022-2078) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Bug Fix(es): * RDMA/mlx5: Fix number of allocated XLT entries (BZ#2092270) * mlx5, Setup hanged when run test-route-nexthop-object.sh (BZ#2092535) * many call traces from unchecked MSR access error: WRMSR to 0x199 in amazon i4.32xlarge instance (BZ#2099417) * X86/platform/UV: Kernel Support Fixes for UV5 platform (BZ#2107732) * block layer: fixes for md sync slow and softlockup at blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests [9.0.0.z] (BZ#2111395) * Fixes for NVMe/TCP dereferences an invalid, non-canonical pointer, kernel panic (BZ#2117755) * Adding missing nvme fix to AlmaLinux-9.1 (BZ#2117756) * nvme/tcp mistakenly uses blk_mq_tag_to_rq(nvme_tcp_tagset(queue) (BZ#2118698) * Important ice bug fixes (BZ#2119290) * Power 9/ppc64le Incorrect Socket(s) & "Core(s) per socket" reported by lscpu command. (BZ#2121719) Enhancement(s): * lscpu does not show all of the support AMX flags (amx_int8, amx_bf16) (BZ#2108203) * ice: Driver Update (BZ#2108204) * iavf: Driver Update (BZ#2119477) * i40e: Driver Update (BZ#2119479)
