The Linux kernel version 6.18.2 was built and boot-tested using qemu-x86_64 and qemu-arm64 with the default configuration (defconfig).
Both build and boot processes completed successfully on arm64 and x86_64. The kernel operated as expected in the virtualized environments, and no issues were observed. No dmesg regressions were found.
Build details: Architectures: arm64, x86_64 Kernel version: 6.18.2 Configuration: defconfig Source: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git Commit: 103c79e44ce7c81882928abab98b96517a8bce88
