0) The v4.14.10 stable updates adds a new executable (tools/objtool/sync- check.sh). Somehow this was added non-executable during my local build of v4.14.10 (on fc26, that is). This made the build fail: [...] + make -s ARCH=x86_64 V=1 -j4 bzImage make[2]: execvp: ./sync-check.sh: Permission denied make[2]: *** [Makefile:49: [...]/BUILD/kernel-4.14.fc26/linux-4.14.10-1.local0.fc26.x86_64/tools/objtool/objtool] Error 127 make[1]: *** [Makefile:62: objtool] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1623: tools/objtool] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fTUkoT (%build) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.fTUkoT (%build) Anybody else seeing this? 1) Switching the specfile from patch to "git apply" seems to do the right thing. This is what I tried: diff --git a/kernel.spec b/kernel.spec index 965345c2a26e..b2a1ffbe843d 100644 --- a/kernel.spec +++ b/kernel.spec @@ -1267,8 +1267,9 @@ fi # released_kernel with possible stable updates %if 0%{?stable_base} # This is special because the kernel spec is hell and nothing is consistent -xzcat %{SOURCE5000} | patch -p1 -F1 -s -git commit -a -m "Stable update" +xzcat %{SOURCE5000} | git apply - +git add -A +git commit -m "Stable update" %endif # Drop some necessary files from the source dir into the buildroot 2) Would it make sense to further gitify the specfile and move from patch to "git apply" here (and a few other places)? Or should we expect patch to do the right thing? (In the latter case I guess I might have to report a bug against patch.)
