If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From nathan@xxxxxxxxxx Fri Nov 19 15:27:39 2021 From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 09:43:23 -0700 Subject: scripts/lld-version.sh: Rewrite based on upstream ld-version.sh To: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx>, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, llvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20211115164322.560965-1-nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch is for linux-5.10.y only. When scripts/lld-version.sh was initially written, it did not account for the LLD_VENDOR cmake flag, which changes the output of ld.lld's --version flag slightly. Without LLD_VENDOR: $ ld.lld --version LLD 14.0.0 (compatible with GNU linkers) With LLD_VENDOR: $ ld.lld --version Debian LLD 14.0.0 (compatible with GNU linkers) As a result, CONFIG_LLD_VERSION is messed up and configuration values that are dependent on it cannot be selected: scripts/lld-version.sh: 20: printf: LLD: expected numeric value scripts/lld-version.sh: 20: printf: LLD: expected numeric value scripts/lld-version.sh: 20: printf: LLD: expected numeric value init/Kconfig:52:warning: 'LLD_VERSION': number is invalid .config:11:warning: symbol value '00000' invalid for LLD_VERSION .config:8800:warning: override: CPU_BIG_ENDIAN changes choice state This was fixed upstream by commit 1f09af062556 ("kbuild: Fix ld-version.sh script if LLD was built with LLD_VENDOR") in 5.12 but that was done to ld-version.sh after it was massively rewritten in commit 02aff8592204 ("kbuild: check the minimum linker version in Kconfig"). To avoid bringing in that change plus its prerequisites and fixes, just modify lld-version.sh to make it similar to the upstream ld-version.sh, which handles ld.lld with or without LLD_VENDOR and ld.bfd without any errors.
