What these issues were? I don't have a quick ability to test kernel 6.2,
but fedora will receive it, so I will definitely get a chance. Can you
give me any pointers so that I can see whether it could be related?

I have windows11 installed on a vm. This vm generally works properly, but
then might crash unexpectedly at any point, this includes situation like
logging onto the system and leaving it intact for like an hour or less. This
can be reproduced by waiting long enough but there is no single known action
causing it.
What could be the problem?
Configuration and error details:
My host is a msi vector gp76 laptop with intel core i7 12700h, 32gb of
memory, host os is fedora linux 37 with custom compiled linux kernel (fedora
patches). Current kernel version is 6.1.10 but when I installed the vm it
was 6.0 or less, don't quite remember exactly, and this bug was present. Not
sure if bios is up to date, but microcode is, if that matters.
...
Guest is windows 11 pro 64 bit.
What crashes is qemu itself, not that the guest is bsod'ing.
Can you try a 6.2 or later kernel? E.g. Linus' HEAD, linux-next, kvm/queue, etc.
KVM had a pile of SMM fixes[*] merged for 6.2 specifically aimed at fixing issues
with secure boot of Windows 11 guest. They aren't likely to be backported to LTS
kernels as they aren't easily consumable (though I'm guessing software vendors
will end up backporting to their supported kernels).
