I'm announcing the release of the 4.14.297 kernel.
All users of the 4.14 kernel series must upgrade.
The updated 4.14.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.14.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git%3Ba=summa...
Hi Greg and stable tree maintainers, Please consider cherry-picking commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends available in assembly") back to 4.19.y and 4.14.y. It first landed in v5.3-rc1 and applies cleanly to both branches. I did not find any fixups to 95b980d62d52, FWIW.
Otherwise users upgrading to this point release of linux-4.14.y still on versions of the GNU assembler older than v1.28 will observe assembler errors when building this series. See the link below for the error messages.
Please see https://lore.kernel.org/llvm/20221103210748.1343090-1-ndesaulniers@google.co... for more info.
Did you try building with that commit applied? I get the following
I built 4.19 but not 4.14. Sorry! It looks like for 4.14 95b980d62d52 will additionally depend on
commit 2dd8a62c6476 ("linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h")
which first landed in v4.17-rc1.
That commit will depend on
commit 2a6cc8a6c0cb ("linux/const.h: prefix include guard of uapi/linux/const.h with _UAPI")
which first landed in v4.17-rc1 as well. Looks like they were part of the same series.
So 4.14.y will need the following 3 patches:
- commit 2a6cc8a6c0cb ("linux/const.h: prefix include guard of
uapi/linux/const.h with _UAPI") 2. commit 2dd8a62c6476 ("linux/const.h: move UL() macro to include/linux/const.h") 3. commit 95b980d62d52 ("linux/bits.h: make BIT(), GENMASK(), and friends available in assembly")
2a6cc8a6c0cb will have a minor conflict in include/uapi/linux/const.h because commit a85cbe6159ff ("uapi: move constants from <linux/kernel.h> to <linux/const.h>") was backported before 2a6cc8a6c0cb as b732e14e6218b (in 4.14). Attached is a compile tested (x86 make CC=clang) mbox for 4.14.y. Please let me know if that works for you.
Thanks, I've queued these up now and will test them later today on the Android build system as well.
