This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 7.1.5 release. There are 2077 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v7.x/stable-review/ patch-7.1.5-rc1.gz or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable- rc.git linux-7.1.y and the diffstat can be found below.
perf fails to build with:
In file included from builtin-sched.c:28: builtin-sched.c: In function 'latency_switch_event': builtin-sched.c:1196:34: error: 'struct perf_sample' has no member named 'file_offset' 1196 | sample->file_offset, cpu); | ^~
which is due to 6018a2a9ff1baa45426f7a52f8ec4f7d32fedfce ("perf sched: Replace BUG_ON on invalid CPU with graceful skip"), we need to backport a490187f22b4bfae7ef752edbe3fb13017ca11c ("perf sample: Add file_offset field to struct perf_sample")
Was that enough to make perf build for you? I also ran into this error:
util/libdw.c: In function ‘libdw__addr2line’: util/libdw.c:204:25: error: implicit declaration of function ‘inline_node__clear_frames’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 204 | inline_node__clear_frames(node); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Which from a quick check was fixed by picking up 674dea094ef659 ("perf srcline: Introduce inline_node__clear_frames()"). But then I ran into yet another error:
util/session.c: In function ‘perf_session__deliver_event’: util/session.c:1619:14: error: ‘evsel’ undeclared (first use in this function) 1619 | if ((evsel->core.attr.sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_CPU) && | ^~~~~ util/session.c:1619:14: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Argh, I haven't checked perf builds in a long time. And yes, they are broken. Let me go fix these up for 6.18 and 7.1 and then drop all the perf patches for older kernels as systems should always be using the newest perf tool, not the older one, anyway.
I'll do that and then push out some -rc2 releases...
thanks,
