This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
purgatory: fix disabling debug infoto the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git%3Ba=su...
The filename of the patch is: purgatory-fix-disabling-debug-info.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory.
If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let stable@vger.kernel.org know about it.
There's no need for this patch on 5.15, as the regression it fixes was only introduced in 6.0. It won't do any harm though — is it considered good practice to keep the code in sync between stable kernels to make backports of other patches easier? If so, it would make sense to backport after all.
It went into 5.15 because the patch in question says:
Fixes: 32ef9e5054ec ("Makefile.debug: re-enable debug info for .S files")
In the 5.15 tree, we have 0ee2f0567a56 ("Makefile.debug: re-enable debug info for .S files") and so I've also added this patch into 5.15.
