Built 6.12.37 with CONFIG_MITIGATION_TSA=y on a Ryzen 5700G system. According to [1] the minimum BIOS revision should be ComboAM4v2PI 1.2.0.E which is installed. According to [2] the minimum microcode revision required for that CPU is 0x0A500012. Installed is 0x0A500014. So I think the mitigating should work. But this is not the case:
~> dmesg | grep -Ei 'ryzen|microcode' [ 0.171006] Transient Scheduler Attacks: Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode [ 0.288006] smpboot: CPU0: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics (family: 0x19, model: 0x50, stepping: 0x0) [ 0.480729] microcode: Current revision: 0x0a500014
I'm wondering why the mitigation isn't working. Thanks.

Should be fixed in the next round of kernel releases, see this fix if you want to grab it now: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250711191844.GIaHFjlJiQi_HxyyWG@fat_crate.local
Let us know if this doesn't solve it for you.
