Greg, I'm in the process of preparing backports for building 4.9 and 4.4 kernels with Clang. Going off of mka's very helpful: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/22/943, I've prepared the list of SHA's that were marked UPSTREAM (internal convention used to denote patch applies cleanly): https://gist.github.com/nickdesaulniers/fe995f4b7c52af8de1a283c0a53562d9. But it seems that some of these shas no longer apply cleanly. I was thus curious:
- May I send you a pull request with the patches properly backported?
I'm happy to do the work, just want a green light before backporting all of these patches. 2. Should I denote in any way if I had to modify any patch to get it to apply cleanly? This helps in code review, IMO. If so, what convention should I use?
Greg, Would you please cherry pick the following 26 patches from mainline to 4.9.y stable branch? (applied top to bottom)
I verified that they cherry-pick cleanly, and boot on x86_64 and arm64. I will follow up with more patches cleaning up the warnings, adding arm 32b support, and the backport patches themselves when they do not cherry pick cleanly. https://travis-ci.com/nickdesaulniers/continuous-integration/builds/91934518

Ok, while I did say having a list of git commit ids was ok, I didn't realize it was going to be this long :)
If you do have a tested set of patches like this already in your tree, I would be more than willing to take a git pull request or a mbox of them all, and apply them that way.
As for the format of them, look at how David Miller sends networking mbox files, with the "upstream commit" line as the first line of the patch, so that we know where the patch came from.
Also, it gives me a better way to review them and see if these really are sane enough for the stable tree.
For 4.9 I can sort of understand the request, but for 4.4, that is really old now, and no one should be making new devices with that kernel release (same for 4.9, but yeah, I know...) So I doubt anyone cares about clang backports for 4.4 which is why I only accepted a few tiny patches for that in the past into that tree.
thanks,

Hi Greg,
While the number of commits seems rather high, all together they are a rather small set of changes. It's mostly just shuffling around and extending what is already there.
Here is an mbox file with all of the patches properly backported with their respective commit IDs if you would like to do a quick review (and I think I did this right...). We have verified that it allows both an arm64 and an x86_64 kernel to boot in QEMU with Clang.
