Grrr, wrong email it should be <linux-kbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - sed@ - ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, Dec 28, 2020 at 8:30 AM Subject: Re: Linux 5.11-rc1 To: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <inux-kbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, <linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Please CC me I am not subscribed to LKML and linux-kbuild ML ] Hi Linus, Hi Mashiro, thanks for the Linux v5.11-rc1 release. With a new release I always do my first builds with my distro's default compiler and linker (GCC v10.2.1 and GNU/ld BFD v2.35.1). ( It's approx. 40% faster than LLVM toolchain v11.0.1-rc2 here on Debian/testing AMD64. ) The only warning I see for the first time (with v5.10.3 not observed): sh ./scripts/depmod.sh depmod 5.11.0-rc1-1-amd64-gcc10-bfd Warning: 'make modules_install' requires depmod. Please install it. This is probably in the kmod package. The only change I see in this area is: 436e980e2ed5 kbuild: don't hardcode depmod path depmod from kmod Debian package is placed and I have no /sbin in my user's path (and not before?): $ dpkg -L kmod | grep bin | grep depmod /sbin/depmod $ which depmod [ empty ] $ echo $PATH /opt/proxychains-ng/bin:/home/dileks/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games OK, this is a warning, but might confuse other users. Please, let me know if you need further information and keep me CCed. Thanks. Regards, - Sedat - [1] https://git.kernel.org/linus/436e980e2ed526832de822cbf13c317a458b78e1
