Hi all, Changes since 20211208: The kvm tree gained a conflict with the perf tree. The kvm-arm tree gained a conflict with the kvm tree. The bpf tree gained a conflict with the ndevdev tree. The nvdimm tree gained a conflict with the ext4 tree and was dropped for today. The rust tree gained a conflict with Linus' tree. The bitmap tree gained a conflict with the kvm tree. The akpm-current tree gained a conflict with the folio tree. Non-merge commits (relative to Linus' tree): 5746 6195 files changed, 260341 insertions(+), 117230 deletions(-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have created today's linux-next tree at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git (patches at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/next/ ). If you are tracking the linux-next tree using git, you should not use "git pull" to do so as that will try to merge the new linux-next release with the old one. You should use "git fetch" and checkout or reset to the new master. You can see which trees have been included by looking in the Next/Trees file in the source. There are also quilt-import.log and merge.log files in the Next directory. Between each merge, the tree was built with an arm64 defconfig, an allmodconfig for x86_64, a multi_v7_defconfig for arm and a native build of tools/perf. After the final fixups (if any), I do an x86_64 modules_install followed by builds for x86_64 allnoconfig, arm64 allnoconfig and allyesconfig, and i386, arm64, sparc and sparc64 defconfig and htmldocs. Below is a summary of the state of the merge. I am currently merging 346 trees (counting Linus' and 94 trees of bug fix patches pending for the current merge release). Stats about the size of the tree over time can be seen at http://neuling.org/linux-next-size.html . Status of my local build tests will be at http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/linux-next . If maintainers want to give advice about cross compilers/configs that work, we are always open to add more builds. Thanks to Randy Dunlap for doing many randconfig builds. And to Paul Gortmaker for triage and bug fixes.
