This series backports 7 patches to update minmax.h in the 6.12.y branch, aligning it with v6.17-rc7.
The ultimate goal is to synchronize all longterm branches so that they include the full set of minmax.h changes.
The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which is missing in older kernels.
In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it, backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings, which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled.
David Laight (7): minmax.h: add whitespace around operators and after commas minmax.h: update some comments minmax.h: reduce the #define expansion of min(), max() and clamp() minmax.h: use BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG() for the lo < hi test in clamp() minmax.h: move all the clamp() definitions after the min/max() ones minmax.h: simplify the variants of clamp() minmax.h: remove some #defines that are only expanded once

[ Upstream commit 10666e99204818ef45c702469488353b5bb09ec7 ]
- Change three to several. - Remove the comment about retaining constant expressions, no longer true. - Realign to nearer 80 columns and break on major punctiation. - Add a leading comment to the block before __signed_type() and __is_nonneg() Otherwise the block explaining the cast is a bit 'floating'. Reword the rest of that comment to improve readability.

[ Upstream commit b280bb27a9f7c91ddab730e1ad91a9c18a051f41 ]
Since the test for signed values being non-negative only relies on __builtion_constant_p() (not is_constexpr()) it can use the 'ux' variable instead of the caller supplied expression. This means that the #define parameters are only expanded twice. Once in the code and once quoted in the error message.

This diff looks odd. The upstream commit diffstat is:
include/linux/minmax.h | 131 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 62 insertions(+), 69 deletions(-)
which does not match this diffstat, nor the diff itself.
But, if I backport the original commit myself, it matches up exactly with what you show here, which is odd.
diff is "fun", ugh...
Anyway, not a complaint, just something that others might note if they are comparing diffs here like I do.
thanks,

[ Upstream commit 495bba17cdf95e9703af1b8ef773c55ef0dfe703 ]
Always pass a 'type' through to __clamp_once(), pass '__auto_type' from clamp() itself.
The expansion of __types_ok3() is reasonable so it isn't worth the added complexity of avoiding it when a fixed type is used for all three values.

[ Upstream commit 2b97aaf74ed534fb838d09867d09a3ca5d795208 ]
The bodies of __signed_type_use() and __unsigned_type_use() are much the same size as their names - so put the bodies in the only line that expands them.
Similarly __signed_type() is defined separately for 64bit and then used exactly once just below.
Change the test for __signed_type from CONFIG_64BIT to one based on gcc defined macros so that the code is valid if it gets used outside of a kernel build.

This series backports 7 patches to update minmax.h in the 6.12.y branch, aligning it with v6.17-rc7.
The ultimate goal is to synchronize all longterm branches so that they include the full set of minmax.h changes.
The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which is missing in older kernels.
In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it, backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings, which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled.
All now queued up, thanks!
