kbuild: pacman-pkg: make "rc" releases adhere to pacman versioning scheme

2026-06-01T15:51:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 202550713128da20d9381d6d2dc0f6b73839f434 ] The package versioning scheme does not enable smooth upgrades from "rc" releases to the corresponding stable releases (e.g. 7.0.0-rc7 -> 7.0.0) because pacman considers that a downgrade due to the underscore in pkgver (e.g. 7.0.0_rc7), see e.g. vercmp(8) for an explanation of the package version comparison used by pacman. Package versions which are derived from said releases (e.g. built from git revisions) are similarly affected. Fix this by modifying pkgver in order to remove the hyphen from kernel versions containing "-rcN", where N is a non-negative integer.

gcc-plugins: Always define CONST_CAST_GIMPLE and CONST_CAST_TREE

2026-06-01T15:51:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 905c559e51497b8bfdbb68df8be56d2f70f0de8e ] For gcc-16, the CONST_CAST macro family was removed. Add back what we were using in gcc-common.h, as they are simple wrappers.

kbuild: builddeb - avoid recompiles for non-cross-compiles

2026-05-23T11:07:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2452dcf4d740effff5aa71b7f6529ee8c04fd8f6 ] Commit e2c318225ac1 ("kbuild: deb-pkg: add pkg.linux-upstream.nokernelheaders build profile") changed how install-extmod-build gets called, making it always rebuild the host programs below scripts/ if HOSTCC wasn't specified with its full triplet on the make command line. That is, apparently, needed to fix up commit f1d87664b82a ("kbuild: cross-compile linux-headers package when possible") for cross-compiles. However, in the much more common case of non-cross-compile builds this will lead to unnecessary rebuilding of host tools including gcc plugins. This, in turn, will lead to a full kernel rebuild on the next 'make bindeb-pkg' which is unfortunate. Avoid that by only triggering the rebuild of host tools for actual cross-compile builds.

check-uapi: link into shared objects

2026-05-07T04:11:55+00:00

commit a261f6dff3c1653c19c065c3b3650c625447b8a7 upstream. While testing ABI changes across all architectures, I found that abidiff sometimes produces nonsensical output. Further debugging identified missing or broken libelf support for architecture specific relocations in ET_REL binaries as the source of the problem[1]. Change the script to no longer produce a relocatable object file but instead create a shared library for each header. This makes abidiff work for all of the architectures in upstream linux kernels.

scripts/dtc: Remove unused dts_version in dtc-lexer.l

2026-04-27T13:27:29+00:00

This patch is for stable only. Commit 5a09df20872c ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.7.2-69-g53373d135579") upstream applied it as part of a regular scripts/dtc sync, which may be unsuitable for older versions of stable where the warning it fixes is present. A recent strengthening of -Wunused-but-set-variable (enabled with -Wall) in clang under a new subwarning, -Wunused-but-set-global, points out an unused static global variable in dtc-lexer.lex.c (compiled from dtc-lexer.l): scripts/dtc/dtc-lexer.lex.c:641:12: warning: variable 'dts_version' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-global] 641 | static int dts_version = 1; | ^ Remove it to clear up the warning, as it is truly unused.
