"manually fixing it up" means "hacked it to pieces" to me, I have no idea what the end result really was :)
If someone wants to send me some patches I can actually apply, that would be best...
I will give it a go whenever I get some free time :)
I fear this has never happened, did it?
No. Between summer, holidays and a conference I didn't get to do it.
Done the minimal approach here:
https://github.com/ojeda/linux/commits/compiler-attributes-backport
Tested building a handful of drivers with gcc 4.6.4, 8.3.0 and 9.1.1.
Greg, I could backport the entire compiler_attributes.h, but given this is stable, we are supposed to minimize changes, right?
I tried to imitate what you do in other stable patches, please check the Cc:, Link: lines and the "commit ... upstream" just in case.
HTH,
Cheers, Miguel
