Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "The highlight is the establishment of a minimum version for the Rust toolchain, including 'rustc' (and bundled tools) and 'bindgen'. The initial minimum will be the pinned version we currently have, i.e. we are just widening the allowed versions. That covers three stable Rust releases: 1.78.0, 1.79.0, 1.80.0 (getting released tomorrow), plus beta, plus nightly. This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux, Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and openSUSE Slowroll and Tumbleweed. In addition, the kernel is now being built-tested by Rust's pre-merge CI. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it passes. Similarly, the bindgen tool has agreed to build the kernel in their CI too. Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that, in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust compiler versions should generally work. In addition, the Rust project has proposed getting the kernel into stable Rust (at least solving the main blockers) as one of its three flagship goals for 2024H2 [1]. I would like to thank Niko, Sid, Emilio et al. for their help promoting the collaboration between Rust and the kernel. Toolchain and infrastructure: - Support several Rust toolchain versions. - Support several bindgen versions. - Remove 'cargo' requirement and simplify 'rusttest', thanks to 'alloc' having been dropped last cycle. - Provide proper error reporting for the 'rust-analyzer' target. 'kernel' crate: - Add 'uaccess' module with a safe userspace pointers abstraction. - Add 'page' module with a 'struct page' abstraction. - Support more complex generics in workqueue's 'impl_has_work!' macro. 'macros' crate: - Add 'firmware' field support to the 'module!' macro. - Improve 'module!' macro documentation. Documentation: - Provide instructions on what packages should be installed to build the kernel in some popular Linux distributions. - Introduce the new kernel.org LLVM+Rust toolchains. - Explain '#[no_std]'. And a few other small bits" Link: https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-project-goals/2024h2/index.html#flagship-goals [1] * tag 'rust-6.11' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux: (26 commits) docs: rust: quick-start: add section on Linux distributions rust: warn about `bindgen` versions 0.66.0 and 0.66.1 rust: start supporting several `bindgen` versions rust: work around `bindgen` 0.69.0 issue rust: avoid assuming a particular `bindgen` build rust: start supporting several compiler versions rust: simplify Clippy warning flags set rust: relax most deny-level lints to warnings rust: allow `dead_code` for never constructed bindings rust: init: simplify from `map_err` to `inspect_err` rust: macros: indent list item in `paste!`'s docs rust: add abstraction for `struct page` rust: uaccess: add typed accessors for userspace pointers uaccess: always export _copy_[from|to]_user with CONFIG_RUST rust: uaccess: add userspace pointers kbuild: rust-analyzer: improve comment documentation kbuild: rust-analyzer: better error handling docs: rust: no_std is used rust: alloc: add __GFP_HIGHMEM flag rust: alloc: fix typo in docs for GFP_NOWAIT ...

2024-07-16kbuild: raise the minimum GNU Make requirement to 4.0Masahiro Yamada
RHEL/CentOS 7, popular distributions that install GNU Make 3.82, reached EOM/EOL on June 30, 2024. While you may get extended support, it is a good time to raise the minimum GNU Make version. The new requirement, GNU Make 4.0, was released in October, 2013. I did not touch the Makefiles under tools/ because I do not know the requirements for building tools. I do not find any GNU Make version checks under tools/. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
2024-07-10docs: rust: quick-start: add section on Linux distributionsMiguel Ojeda
Now that we are starting to support several Rust compiler and `bindgen` versions, there is a good chance some Linux distributions work out of the box. Thus, provide some instructions on how to set the toolchain up for a few major Linux distributions. This simplifies the setup users need to build the kernel. In addition, add an introduction to the document so that it is easier to understand its structure and move the LLVM+Rust kernel.org toolchains paragraph there (removing "depending on the Linux version"). We may want to reorganize the document or split it in the future, but I wanted to focus this commit on the new information added about each particular distribution. Finally, remove the `rustup`'s components mention in `changes.rst` since users do not need it if they install the toolchain via the distributions (and anyway it was too detailed for that main document).

2024-07-10rust: start supporting several compiler versionsMiguel Ojeda
It is time to start supporting several Rust compiler versions and thus establish a minimum Rust version. We may still want to upgrade the minimum sometimes in the beginning since there may be important features coming into the language that improve how we write code (e.g. field projections), which may or may not make sense to support conditionally. We will start with a window of two stable releases, and widen it over time. Thus this patch does not move the current minimum (1.78.0), but instead adds support for the recently released 1.79.0. This should already be enough for kernel developers in distributions that provide recent Rust compiler versions routinely, such as Arch Linux, Debian Unstable (outside the freeze period), Fedora Linux, Gentoo Linux (especially the testing channel), Nix (unstable) and openSUSE Tumbleweed. See the documentation patch about it later in this series. In addition, Rust for Linux is now being built-tested in Rust's pre-merge CI [1]. That is, every change that is attempting to land into the Rust compiler is tested against the kernel, and it is merged only if it passes -- thanks to the Rust project for that! Thus, with the pre-merge CI in place, both projects hope to avoid unintentional changes to Rust that break the kernel. This means that, in general, apart from intentional changes on their side (that we will need to workaround conditionally on our side), the upcoming Rust compiler versions should generally work. For instance, currently, the beta (1.80.0) and nightly (1.81.0) branches work as well. Of course, the Rust for Linux CI job in the Rust toolchain may still need to be temporarily disabled for different reasons, but the intention is to help bring Rust for Linux into stable Rust.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda: "The most notable change is the drop of the 'alloc' in-tree fork. This is nicely reflected in the diffstat as a ~10k lines drop. In turn, this makes the version upgrades way simpler and smaller in the future, e.g. the latest one in commit 56f64b370612 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.78.0"). More importantly, this increases the chances that a newer compiler version just works, which in turn means supporting several compiler versions is easier now. Thus we will look into finally setting a minimum version in the near future. Toolchain and infrastructure: - Upgrade to Rust 1.78.0 This time around, due to how the kernel and Rust schedules have aligned, there are two upgrades in fact. These allow us to remove one more unstable feature ('offset_of') from the list, among other improvements - Drop 'alloc' in-tree fork of the standard library crate, which means all the unstable features used by 'alloc' (~30 language ones, ~60 library ones) are not a concern anymore - Support DWARFv5 via the '-Zdwarf-version' flag - Support zlib and zstd debuginfo compression via the '-Zdebuginfo-compression' flag 'kernel' crate: - Support allocation flags ('GFP_*'), particularly in 'Box' (via 'BoxExt'), 'Vec' (via 'VecExt'), 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc', as well as in the 'init' module APIs - Remove usage of the 'allocator_api' unstable feature - Remove 'try_' prefix in allocation APIs' names - Add 'VecExt' (an extension trait) to be able to drop the 'alloc' fork - Add the '{make,to}_{upper,lower}case()' methods to 'CStr'/'CString' - Add the 'as_ptr' method to 'ThisModule' - Add the 'from_raw' method to 'ArcBorrow' - Add the 'into_unique_or_drop' method to 'Arc' - Display column number in the 'dbg!' macro output by applying the equivalent change done to the standard library one - Migrate 'Work' to '#[pin_data]' thanks to the changes in the 'macros' crate, which allows to remove an unsafe call in its 'new' associated function - Prevent namespacing issues when using the '[try_][pin_]init!' macros by changing the generated name of guard variables - Make the 'get' method in 'Opaque' const - Implement the 'Default' trait for 'LockClassKey' - Remove unneeded 'kernel::prelude' imports from doctests - Remove redundant imports 'macros' crate: - Add 'decl_generics' to 'parse_generics()' to support default values, and use that to allow them in '#[pin_data]' Helpers: - Trivial English grammar fix Documentation: - Add section on Rust Kselftests to the 'Testing' document - Expand the 'Abstractions vs. bindings' section of the 'General Information' document" * tag 'rust-6.10' of https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux/linux: (31 commits) rust: alloc: fix dangling pointer in VecExt<T>::reserve() rust: upgrade to Rust 1.78.0 rust: kernel: remove redundant imports rust: sync: implement `Default` for `LockClassKey` docs: rust: extend abstraction and binding documentation docs: rust: Add instructions for the Rust kselftest rust: remove unneeded `kernel::prelude` imports from doctests rust: update `dbg!()` to format column number rust: helpers: Fix grammar in comment rust: init: change the generated name of guard variables rust: sync: add `Arc::into_unique_or_drop` rust: sync: add `ArcBorrow::from_raw` rust: types: Make Opaque::get const rust: kernel: remove usage of `allocator_api` unstable feature rust: init: update `init` module to take allocation flags rust: sync: update `Arc` and `UniqueArc` to take allocation flags rust: alloc: update `VecExt` to take allocation flags rust: alloc: introduce the `BoxExt` trait rust: alloc: introduce allocation flags rust: alloc: remove our fork of the `alloc` crate ...

2024-05-11Documentation: coding-style: ask function-like macros to evaluate parametersBarry Song
Patch series "codingstyle: avoid unused parameters for a function-like macro", v7. A function-like macro could result in build warnings such as "unused variable." This patchset updates the guidance to recommend always using a static inline function instead and also provides checkpatch support for this new rule. This patch (of 2): Recent commit 77292bb8ca69c80 ("crypto: scomp - remove memcpy if sg_nents is 1 and pages are lowmem") leads to warnings on xtensa and loongarch, In file included from crypto/scompress.c:12: include/crypto/scatterwalk.h: In function 'scatterwalk_pagedone': include/crypto/scatterwalk.h:76:30: warning: variable 'page' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] 76 | struct page *page; | ^~~~ crypto/scompress.c: In function 'scomp_acomp_comp_decomp': >> crypto/scompress.c:174:38: warning: unused variable 'dst_page' [-Wunused-variable] 174 | struct page *dst_page = sg_page(req->dst); | The reason is that flush_dcache_page() is implemented as a noop macro on these platforms as below, #define flush_dcache_page(page) do { } while (0) The driver code, for itself, seems be quite innocent and placing maybe_unused seems pointless, struct page *dst_page = sg_page(req->dst); for (i = 0; i < nr_pages; i++) flush_dcache_page(dst_page + i); And it should be independent of architectural implementation differences. Let's provide guidance on coding style for requesting parameter evaluation or proposing the migration to a static inline function.

2024-05-05rust: upgrade to Rust 1.78.0Miguel Ojeda
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.77.1 to 1.78.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). It is much smaller than previous upgrades, since the `alloc` fork was dropped in commit 9d0441bab775 ("rust: alloc: remove our fork of the `alloc` crate") [3]. # Unstable features There have been no changes to the set of unstable features used in our own code. Therefore, the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`. However, since we finally dropped our `alloc` fork [3], all the unstable features used by `alloc` (~30 language ones, ~60 library ones) are not a concern anymore. This reduces the maintenance burden, increases the chances of new compiler versions working without changes and gets us closer to the goal of supporting several compiler versions. It also means that, ignoring non-language/library features, we are currently left with just the few language features needed to implement the kernel `Arc`, the `new_uninit` library feature, the `compiler_builtins` marker and the few `no_*` `cfg`s we pass when compiling `core`/`alloc`. Please see [4] for details. # Required changes ## LLVM's data layout Rust 1.77.0 (i.e. the previous upgrade) introduced a check for matching LLVM data layouts [5]. Then, Rust 1.78.0 upgraded LLVM's bundled major version from 17 to 18 [6], which changed the data layout in x86 [7]. Thus update the data layout in our custom target specification for x86 so that the compiler does not complain about the mismatch: error: data-layout for target `target-5559158138856098584`, `e-m:e-p270:32:32-p271:32:32-p272:64:64-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128`, differs from LLVM target's `x86_64-linux-gnu` default layout, `e-m:e-p270:32:32-p271:32:32-p272:64:64-i64:64-i128:128-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128` In the future, the goal is to drop the custom target specifications. Meanwhile, if we want to support other LLVM versions used in `rustc` (e.g. for LTO), we will need to add some extra logic (e.g. conditional on LLVM's version, or extracting the data layout from an existing built-in target specification). ## `unused_imports` Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports. Now, in 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports [8]. Thus one of the previous patches cleaned them up. ## Clippy's `new_without_default` Clippy now suggests to implement `Default` even when `new()` is `const`, since `Default::default()` may call `const` functions even if it is not `const` itself [9]. Thus one of the previous patches implemented it. # Other changes in Rust Rust 1.78.0 introduced `feature(asm_goto)` [10] [11]. This feature was discussed in the past [12]. Rust 1.78.0 introduced `feature(const_refs_to_static)` [13] to allow referencing statics in constants and extended `feature(const_mut_refs)` to allow raw mutable pointers in constants. Together, this should cover the kernel's `VTABLE` use case. In fact, the implementation [14] in upstream Rust added a test case for it [15]. Rust 1.78.0 with debug assertions enabled (i.e. `-Cdebug-assertions=y`, kernel's `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) now always checks all unsafe preconditions, though without a way to opt-out for particular cases [16]. It would be ideal to have a way to selectively disable certain checks per-call site for this one (i.e. not just per check but for particular instances of a check), even if the vast majority of the checks remain in place [17]. Rust 1.78.0 also improved a couple issues we reported when giving feedback for the new `--check-cfg` feature [18] [19]. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing As mentioned above, compiler upgrades will not update `alloc` anymore, since we dropped our `alloc` fork [3].

2024-04-12arm64: boot: Support Flat Image TreeSimon Glass
Add a script which produces a Flat Image Tree (FIT), a single file containing the built kernel and associated devicetree files. Compression defaults to gzip which gives a good balance of size and performance. The files compress from about 86MB to 24MB using this approach. The FIT can be used by bootloaders which support it, such as U-Boot and Linuxboot. It permits automatic selection of the correct devicetree, matching the compatible string of the running board with the closest compatible string in the FIT. There is no need for filenames or other workarounds. Add a 'make image.fit' build target for arm64, as well. The FIT can be examined using 'dumpimage -l'. This uses the 'dtbs-list' file but processes only .dtb files, ignoring the overlay .dtbo files. This features requires pylibfdt (use 'pip install libfdt'). It also requires compression utilities for the algorithm being used. Supported compression options are the same as the Image.xxx files. Use FIT_COMPRESSION to select an algorithm other than gzip. While FIT supports a ramdisk / initrd, no attempt is made to support this here, since it must be built separately from the Linux build.

2024-03-29rust: upgrade to Rust 1.77.1Miguel Ojeda
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.76.0 to 1.77.1 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features The `offset_of` feature (single-field `offset_of!`) that we were using got stabilized in Rust 1.77.0 [3]. Therefore, now the only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate is `new_uninit`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [4] for details. # Required changes Rust 1.77.0 merged the `unused_tuple_struct_fields` lint into `dead_code`, thus upgrading it from `allow` to `warn` [5]. In turn, this made `rustc` complain about the `ThisModule`'s pointer field being never read, but the previous patch adds the `as_ptr` method to it, needed by Binder [6], so that we do not need to locally `allow` it. # Other changes Rust 1.77.0 introduces the `--check-cfg` feature [7], for which there is a Call for Testing going on [8]. We were requested to test it and we found it useful [9] -- we will likely enable it in the future. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

2024-03-03docs: submit-checklist: structure by categoryLukas Bulwahn
While going through the submit checklist, the list order seemed rather random, probably just by historical coincidences of always adding yet the next point someone thought of at the end of the list. Structure and order them by the category of such activity, reviewing, documenting, checking with tools, building and testing. As the diff of the reordering is large: Review code now includes previous points 1, 5 and 22. Review Kconfig includes previous 6, 7 and 8. Documenting includes previous 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 23. Checking with tools includes previous 5, 9 and 10. Building includes previous 2, 3, 20 and 24. Testing includes previous 12, 13, 14, 19 and 21. Previous point 4 (compile for ppc64) was merged into point 3 (build for many architectures), as it was just a further note to cross-compiling. Previous point 5 was split into one in review and one in checking to have every previous point in the right category. Point 11 was shortened, as building documentation is mentioned already in Build your code, 1d. A note that was presented visually much too aggressive in the HTML view was turned into a simple "Note that..." sentence in the enumeration. The recommendation to test with the -mm patchset (previous 21, now testing, point 5) was updated to the current state of affairs to test with a recent tag of linux-next. Note that the previous first point still remains the first list even after reordering. Randy confirmed that it was important to Stephen Rothwell to keep 'include what you use' to be the first in the list. While at it, replace the reference to the obsolete CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.

2024-02-29rust: upgrade to Rust 1.76.0Miguel Ojeda
This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0 (i.e. the latest) [1]. See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in commit 3ed03f4da06e ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2"). # Unstable features No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0. The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed may increase the list. Please see [3] for details. # Required changes `rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please see the previous commit for details. # Other changes Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case, this debug information took: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size) rust/kernel.o ~92 KiB (~15%) rust/core.o ~114 KiB ( ~5%) In the compressed debug info (zlib) case: samples/rust/rust_minimal.o ~11 KiB (~6%) rust/kernel.o ~17 KiB (~5%) rust/core.o ~21 KiB (~1.5%) In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the `.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7]. Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6]. # `alloc` upgrade and reviewing The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded at once. There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer infallible APIs coming from upstream. Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only, especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream. Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot potentially unintended changes to our additions. To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after applying this patch: # Get the difference with respect to the old version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc # Apply this patch. git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch # Get the difference with respect to the new version. git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc) git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc | cut -d/ -f3- | grep -Fv README.md | xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch git -C linux restore rust/alloc Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

2024-02-22kbuild: raise the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1Nathan Chancellor
Patch series "Bump the minimum supported version of LLVM to 13.0.1". This series bumps the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to 13.0.1. The first patch does the bump and all subsequent patches clean up all the various workarounds and checks for earlier versions. Quoting the first patch's commit message for those that were only on CC for the clean ups: When __builtin_mul_overflow() has arguments that differ in terms of signedness and width, LLVM may generate a libcall to __muloti4 because it performs the checks in terms of 65-bit multiplication. This issue becomes harder to hit (but still possible) after LLVM 12.0.0, which includes a special case for matching widths but different signs. To gain access to this special case, which the kernel can take advantage of when calls to __muloti4 appear, bump the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel to 13.0.1. 13.0.1 was chosen because there is minimal impact to distribution support while allowing a few more workarounds to be dropped in the kernel source than if 12.0.0 were chosen. Looking at container images of up to date distribution versions: archlinux:latest clang version 16.0.6 debian:oldoldstable-slim clang version 7.0.1-8+deb10u2 (tags/RELEASE_701/final) debian:oldstable-slim Debian clang version 11.0.1-2 debian:stable-slim Debian clang version 14.0.6 debian:testing-slim Debian clang version 16.0.6 (19) debian:unstable-slim Debian clang version 16.0.6 (19) fedora:38 clang version 16.0.6 (Fedora 16.0.6-3.fc38) fedora:latest clang version 17.0.6 (Fedora 17.0.6-1.fc39) fedora:rawhide clang version 17.0.6 (Fedora 17.0.6-1.fc40) opensuse/leap:latest clang version 15.0.7 opensuse/tumbleweed:latest clang version 17.0.6 ubuntu:focal clang version 10.0.0-4ubuntu1 ubuntu:latest Ubuntu clang version 14.0.0-1ubuntu1.1 ubuntu:rolling Ubuntu clang version 16.0.6 (15) ubuntu:devel Ubuntu clang version 17.0.6 (3) The only distribution that gets left behind is Debian Bullseye, as the default version is 11.0.1; other distributions either have a newer version than 13.0.1 or one older than the current minimum of 11.0.0. Debian has easy access to more recent LLVM versions through apt.llvm.org, so this is not as much of a concern. There are also the kernel.org LLVM toolchains, which should work with distributions with glibc 2.28 and newer. Another benefit of slimming up the number of supported versions of LLVM for building the kernel is reducing the build capacity needed to support a matrix that builds with each supported version, which allows a matrix to reallocate the freed up build capacity towards something else, such as more configuration combinations. This passes my build matrix with all supported versions. This is based on Andrew's mm-nonmm-unstable to avoid trivial conflicts with my series to update the LLVM links across the repository [1] but I can easily rebase it to linux-kbuild if Masahiro would rather these patches go through there (and defer the conflict resolution to the merge window).
