Commit 6c8ad4427f6e ("kbuild: check the minimum compiler version in
Kconfig") removed ./scripts/clang-version.sh and moved its content to
./scripts/cc-version.sh.

Since then, ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --self-test=patterns complains:

  warning: no file matches    F:    scripts/clang-version.sh

The CLANG/LLVM BUILD SUPPORT section in MAINTAINERS intends to track
changes in ./scripts/clang-version.sh; as the file is removed, track
changes in ./scripts/cc-version.sh instead now.

applies cleanly on next-20210121

Masahiro-san, please pick this quick fix-up patch.

Good catch, Lukas.

As a tipp:
Next time you can pass '--subject-prefix="PATCH next-YYYYMMDD"' when
doing 'git format-patch ...' (or whatever you use to generate the
patch).

Cannot say if we can add a "Fixes:" tag with commit hash-id of
"kbuild: check the minimum compiler version in Kconfig" - this missed
that move.
Maybe Masahiro does a respin and can fold this into above commit?
That's not my decision.

Masahiro cannot pick this up because the patch to add clang-version.sh
to MAINTAINERS is in mmotm.

I think the better solution is for Andrew to drop the current version of

maintainers-add-a-couple-more-files-to-the-clang-llvm-section.patch

and pick up the second one I sent, which allows us to deal with this:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210114171629.592007-1-natechancellor@gmail.com/

I am not sure it is right for us to maintain cc-version.sh but I am open
to it if Masahiro agrees.

Sounds like a good idea to integrate both patches from Lukas and
Nathan into a new version of "kbuild: check the minimum compiler
version in Kconfig".
...up to the maintainers.

Okay, I did not see in linux-next that both changes are coming into
linux-next through to different trees.

Nathan, I guess if you send a follow-up patch to Andrew that is the
best way to handle it, or we wait until both trees land in mainline,
and then just provide a quick fix like this afterwards.

So, Masahiro-san, no need to pick this patch here.

I agree.

I am not sure either.


The part in cc-version.sh maintained by Clang folks
will be this single line:

clang_min_version=10.0.1


You can add cc-version.sh to the coverage if you want.

Or, the following line in MAINTAINERS might be
enough to catch the clang version change.


K:      \b(?i:clang|llvm)\b



I will leave up to you guys.

I've never seen anyone use this prefix before.

What does the date really help?  In staging, we apply everything on top
of staging-next and if it doesn't apply then we don't investigate, we
just say "doesn't apply.  resend if needed".

We may as well just say [PATCH linux-next].  No one is ever going to
look up the date if it doesn't apply to the latest linux-next.

regards,
dan carpenter

Is there an official rule to label patches for Linux-next?

Usually - when I was more active on Linux-next development - folks add
a "PATCH -next" to the subject.
Of course, this needs additionally a hint in the patch/commit message
against which Linux-next release it is applicable.
Linux-next releases are highly dynamic - a patch might be applicable
to one single "-next" release.
Git trees come and go - are resetted to an older version of a Git tree.

As LKML is CCed - think of the hundreds and thousands of patches
coming in daily.
So a more meaningful subject can give a first orientation.
That was my point.

In networking then they want you to say which tree it applies to, but
it's not as simple as saying "net" vs "net-next".  If it's a bugfix then
you should write that against "net" but if it's a clean up or a fix to a
recent change then it should be written against "net-next".

Also linux-next is not necessarily the same thing as net-next.
Networking patches should be written against either net or net-next, not
linux-next.

BPF tried to implement similar rules to they're not big enough to impose
their own rules.  It's quite a big headache to try to figure out which
tree to use if you're like me and have no clue about bpf.

Anyway, the point of the net vs net-next is that devs are supposed to
figure out the exact tree and they're supposed to only write net-next if
it doesn't apply to net.

It's not clear to me the value of putting linux-next in the subject.
Doesn't everyone develop against the latest devel tree?  Certainly I
can't imagine any maintainers doing extra work to try figure out the
date of the linux-next release.  Surely, they just say "Doesn't apply to
foo-tree.  Resend if necessary."  That's the fastest and easiest
response when patches don't apply.
