This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep" to the 6.1-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-use-grep-e-instead-of-egrep.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a1af37d72579ea66b3131c151e0f96e968c854fc Author: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 18 16:28:11 2022 +0800 MIPS: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep" [ Upstream commit d42f0c6ad502c9f612410e125ebdf290cce8bdc3 ] The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build now contains warnings that look like: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead. Here are the steps to install the latest grep: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make sudo make install export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang <yangtiezhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Stable-dep-of: 4fe4a6374c4d ("MIPS: Only fiddle with CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler'") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/arch/mips/Makefile b/arch/mips/Makefile index ee8f47aef98b3..dd6486097e1dc 100644 --- a/arch/mips/Makefile +++ b/arch/mips/Makefile @@ -352,7 +352,7 @@ KBUILD_LDFLAGS += -m $(ld-emul) ifdef need-compiler CHECKFLAGS += $(shell $(CC) $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) -dM -E -x c /dev/null | \ - egrep -vw '__GNUC_(MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)?_' | \ + grep -E -vw '__GNUC_(MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)?_' | \ sed -e "s/^\#define /-D'/" -e "s/ /'='/" -e "s/$$/'/" -e 's/\$$/&&/g') endif diff --git a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile index f72658b3a53f7..1f7d5c6c10b08 100644 --- a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile +++ b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile @@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ KCOV_INSTRUMENT := n # Check that we don't have PIC 'jalr t9' calls left quiet_cmd_vdso_mips_check = VDSOCHK $@ - cmd_vdso_mips_check = if $(OBJDUMP) --disassemble $@ | egrep -h "jalr.*t9" > /dev/null; \ + cmd_vdso_mips_check = if $(OBJDUMP) --disassemble $@ | grep -E -h "jalr.*t9" > /dev/null; \ then (echo >&2 "$@: PIC 'jalr t9' calls are not supported"; \ rm -f $@; /bin/false); fi
