Bug Description
This is my first time filing a bug report, so apologies in advance for any mistakes and please feel free to point me in the right direction. I'm posting this for the kernel package because the problem is reliably eliminated by downgrading to 5.11.0-11 and reliably returns by upgrading to any greater version.
I've been testing Hirsute as my daily driver for a couple of weeks on my PC with one of the recent AMD GPU's (6700XT). Everything was running flawlessly until the kernel upgrade from 5.11.0-11 to 5.11.0-13. After the upgrade I had a lot of artifacts (flashing squares of either the background or random colors) on the screen. Example picture attached.
* I suspect it's only in parts that are being hardware-
* The gnome panels and application menu also have random square artifacts appearing and disappearing.
* The issue exists both in X11 and Wayland sessions.
* I see nothing out of the ordinary in dmesg or journalctl -r.
* Downgrading to kernel 5.11.0-11 eliminates the issue.
* I tried installing the latest mainline kernel (5.12-rc6), the issue returned, so I downgraded to 5.11.0-11 again (which fixed it).
* To see if other packages I installed may be causing the issue, I did a clean install of the latest daily iso (20210407) and can confirm the issue is also in there.
I'm happy to provide more information or testing.
