Hi,
I notice a bug report on Bugzilla [1]. Quoting from it:
<snip>
Not related to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215750 but I *feel* that
this code needs a hug.
See Bugzilla for the full thread.
AFAIK, this looks like a bug when the kernel is compiled against custom
(non-system) version of OpenSSL library.
I do not know what you could possibly mean. There is nothing "custom"
about OpenSSL. For that matter the gcc compiler I am using was also
built by me. Works fine. The sign-file.c source compiles fine.
It fails to compile in the usual way when trying to build the kernel.
Hi Thorsten and all,
AFAIK there is no reply from kbuild people (maybe they missed this bug?).
I suspect no one is even looking at it. Just us :)
As for the error itself, let me clarify. The reporter (Dennis) have a build
problem with /usr/local version of OpenSSL library. He installed it
(presumably) alongside with system version (which is installed to /usr),
hence I called the /usr/local version as custom one (IDK if that version
is vanilla OpenSSL or not). Maybe am I missing something?
Well, today we have OpenSSL 3.2.0 published :
https://www.openssl.org/source/
So I will try again and this time I will begin with a very stripped down
install of Debian stable. When I mean stripped down I mean there will be
nothing in the base install except reasonable TCP/IP network support and
the ability to FTP a file into it. I can extract a tarball of a decent
compiler that I bootstrapped myself with excellent results :
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-testresults/2023-August/794816.html
This will be done on real hardware. Not a virtual machine of any type
where that should make no difference at all. Anyone running ESXi would
see that same results I am seeing anyways.
I want to see if the old sign-file.c code is simply using deprecated
calls and then rewrite/patch as needed. This means the OpenSSL involved
will be the production 3.2.0 release published today.
