I do not understand why you rush into the revert so quickly. We are before -rc1. We have 7 weeks before the 6.2 release (assuming we will have up to -rc7). If we get -rc6 or -rc7 and we still do not solve the issue, we should consider reverting it. The problem is that the .notes section was turned into PROGBITS. $ aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -S vmlinux.good [ snip ] [ 7] .notes NOTE ffffffc0082c53a0 002d53a0 0000000000000054 0000000000000000 A 0 0 4 $ aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -S vmlinux.bad [ snip ] [ 7] .notes PROGBITS ffffffc0082c5380 002d5380 0000000000000054 0000000000000000 A 0 0 4 I just want to figure out why the linker transforms it this way. > > Ciao, Thorsten (wearing his 'the Linux kernel's regression tracker' hat) > > P.S.: As the Linux kernel's regression tracker I deal with a lot of > reports and sometimes miss something important when writing mails like > this.
