5.10 kernel series fails to build on newer toolchain: FAILED unresolved symbol filp_close
For some odd reason 5.10 kernel series doesn't compile with a newer toolchain since 2025-02-09:

5.10.234 built fine couple of days ago with the older one. There were slight changes made. 5.4 and 5.15 still compile.
Wonder what might be missing here ...

Can you bisect down to the offending commit?
And I think I saw kernelci hit this as well, but I don't have an answer for it...

The same kernel compiles fine with the older toolchain. No changes were made to config nor patch-set when we tried to recompile the 5.10.234 kernel with the newer toolchain. 5.10.235 fails similar to 5.10.234 on the same toolchain.
So maybe a commit is missing, which is present in either 5.4 or 5.15 series.

KernelCI is now reporting a pass on the stable-rc build (5.10.236-rc1), though I was not able to spot exactly what fixed this.

That's good to know, thanks!
Yes, I can confirm that with the current stable-queue patches on top of 5.10.235 it compiles. I only had to not apply the following patch
ASoC: Intel: sof_sdw: Add support for Fatcat board with BT offload enabled in PTL platform
due to this compile error it created:
