LLVM versions prior to 11.0.0 have a harder time with dead code
elimination, which can cause issues with commonly used expressions such
as BUILD_BUG_ON and the bitmask functions/macros in bitfield.h (see the
first two issues links below).
Whenever there is an issue within LLVM that has been resolved in a later
release, the only course of action is to gate the problematic
configuration or source code on the toolchain verson or raise the
minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel, as LLVM has a
limited support lifetime compared to GCC. GCC major releases will
typically see a few point releases across a two year period on average
whereas LLVM major releases are only supported until the next major
release and will only see one or two point releases within that
timeframe. For example, GCC 8.1 was released in May 2018 and GCC 8.5 was
released in May 2021, whereas LLVM 12.0.0 was released in April 2021 and
its only point release, 12.0.1, was released in July 2021, giving a
minimal window for fixes to be backported.
To resolve these build errors around improper dead code elimination,
raise the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to
11.0.0. Doing so is a more proper solution than mucking around with core
kernel macros that have always worked with GCC or disabling drivers for
using these macros in a proper manner. This type of issue may continue
to crop up and require patching, which creates more debt for bumping the
minimum supported version in the future.
This should have a minimal impact to distributions. Using a script to
pull several different Docker images and check the output of
'clang --version':
archlinux:latest: clang version 13.0.0
debian:oldoldstable-slim: clang version 3.8.1-24 (tags/RELEASE_381/final)
debian:oldstable-slim: clang version 7.0.1-8+deb10u2 (tags/RELEASE_701/final)
debian:stable-slim: Debian clang version 11.0.1-2

fedora:rawhide: clang version 13.0.0 (Fedora 13.0.0-5.fc36)
opensuse/leap:15.2: clang version 9.0.1
opensuse/leap:latest: clang version 11.0.1
opensuse/tumbleweed:latest: clang version 13.0.0
ubuntu:bionic: clang version 6.0.0-1ubuntu2 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
ubuntu:latest: clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1
ubuntu:hirsute: Ubuntu clang version 12.0.0-3ubuntu1~21.04.2
ubuntu:rolling: Ubuntu clang version 13.0.0-2
ubuntu:devel: Ubuntu clang version 13.0.0-9
In every case, the distribution's version of clang is either older than
the current minimum supported version of LLVM 10.0.1 or equal to or
greater than the proposed 11.0.0 so nothing should change.
Another benefit of this change is LLVM=1 works better with arm64 and
x86_64 since commit f12b034afe ("scripts/Makefile.clang: default to
LLVM_IAS=1") enabled the integrated assembler by default, which only
works well with clang 11+ (clang-10 required it to be disabled to
successfully build a kernel).

Mention the 'Link' tag in the section about adding URLs to the commit
msg, to make it clearer they "_primarily_ [...] should be about
background", as Linus recently stated (see the link below). That makes
the explanation also easier to find with a text search. For the same
reason and to improve comprehensibility provide an example, too.
Slightly improve the text at the same time to make it more obvious
developers are meant to add links to issue reports in mailing list
archives, as those allow regression tracking efforts to automatically
check which bugs got resolved.
Move the section also downwards slightly, to reduce jumping back and
forth between aspects relevant for the top and the bottom part of the

Merge patch series from Nick Desaulniers to update the minimum gcc
version to 5.1.
This is some of the left-overs from the merge window that I didn't want
to deal with yesterday, so it comes in after -rc1 but was sent before.
Gcc-4.9 support has been an annoyance for some time, and with -Werror I
had the choice of applying a fairly big patch from Kees Cook to remove a
fair number of initializer warnings (still leaving some), or this patch
series from Nick that just removes the source of the problem.
The initializer cleanups might still be worth it regardless, but
honestly, I preferred just tackling the problem with gcc-4.9 head-on.
We've been more aggressiuve about no longer having to care about
compilers that were released a long time ago, and I think it's been a
good thing.
I added a couple of patches on top to sort out a few left-overs now that
we no longer support gcc-4.x.
As noted by Arnd, as a result of this minimum compiler version upgrade
we can probably change our use of '--std=gnu89' to '--std=gnu11', and
finally start using local loop declarations etc. But this series does
_not_ yet do that.

Kconfig.debug: drop GCC 5+ version check for DWARF5
mm/ksm: remove old GCC 4.9+ check
compiler.h: drop fallback overflow checkers
Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1
commit fad7cd3310 ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in
__nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in
commit f0907827a8 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and
add fallback code")
Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a
multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow,
__signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when
!COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. This is problematic for 64b
operands on 32b hosts.
Also, because the macro is type agnostic, it is very difficult to write
a similarly type generic macro that dispatches to one of:
* div64_s64
* div64_u64
* div_s64
* div_u64
Raising the minimum supported versions allows us to remove all of the
fallback helpers for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW, instead
dispatching the compiler builtins.
arm64 has already raised the minimum supported GCC version to 5.1, do
this for all targets now. See the link below for the previous
discussion.

Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently

doc: use KCFLAGS instead of EXTRA_CFLAGS to pass flags from command line
Documentation: proc.rst: add more about the 6 fields in loadavg
You should use KCFLAGS to pass additional compiler flags from the
command line. Using EXTRA_CFLAGS is wrong.
EXTRA_CFLAGS is supposed to specify flags applied only to the current
Makefile (and now deprecated in favor of ccflags-y).
It is still used in arch/mips/kvm/Makefile (and possibly in external
modules too). Passing EXTRA_CFLAGS from the command line overwrites
it and breaks the build.
I also fixed drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc/Makefile because commit 816175dd1f
("drivers/gpu/drm/tilcdc: Makefile, only -Werror when no -W* in
EXTRA_CFLAGS") was based on the same misunderstanding.

- As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now 1.7,
and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That allowed the
removal of a bunch of compatibility code.
- A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it
became clear nobody else was going to deal with them.
- The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from relative
paths to RST files.
- More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes.
No conflicts with any other tree as far as I know.

The documentation explains the need to create internal syscalls' helpers,
and that they should be called `kern_xyzzy()`. However, the comment at
include/linux/syscalls.h says that they should be named as
`ksys_xyzzy()`, and so are all the helpers declared bellow it. Change the
documentation to reflect this.

The gdth driver refers to a SCSI parallel, PCI-only HBA RAID adapter which
was manufactured by the now-defunct ICP Vortex company, later acquired by
Adaptec and superseded by the aacraid series of controllers. The driver
itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications can be
attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left it should
rather be removed completely.

The file Documentation/process/howto.rst points to bugzilla.kernel.org
as the primary place to report kernel bugs to. For most of the kernel
that's the wrong place, as the MAINTAINERS file shows. Adjust those
sections to make them match current practice.
This change also removes a contradiction with the recently added text
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst, which is a reason for a
'this needs further discussion' warning note in there. The change is
thus a prerequisite to remove that warning, nevertheless it is left for
now to make sure people review the text's approach more carefully.
