Greg,
I'm in the process of preparing backports for building 4.9 and 4.4
kernels with Clang.  Going off of mka's very helpful:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/22/943, I've prepared the list of SHA's
that were marked UPSTREAM (internal convention used to denote patch
applies cleanly):
https://gist.github.com/nickdesaulniers/fe995f4b7c52af8de1a283c0a53562d9.
But it seems that some of these shas no longer apply cleanly.  I was
thus curious:

1. May I send you a pull request with the patches properly backported?
I'm happy to do the work, just want a green light before backporting
all of these patches.
2. Should I denote in any way if I had to modify any patch to get it
to apply cleanly?  This helps in code review, IMO.  If so, what
convention should I use?

Thanks,
~Nick Desaulniers

I usually add my initials with a small note for anything non-trivial
like: https://github.com/nathanchance/continuous-integration/blob/sandbox/patches/4.4/arm64/0015-kbuild-fix-linker-feature-test-macros-when-cross-com.patch

I meant to post this on GitHub earlier but was wiped out from work. I
did a successful backport for arm64 on top of 4.4.163 a couple of days
ago that is based on the work Matthias did with some of the newer fixes
that have cropped up. Hopefully it is of some use :)

Got it, thanks!

Great! Let's keep this series, and wait to hear back from GKH how he
wants the patches (your set looks like it's easily mailed if Greg does
not want a PR).  I'll start working on one for 4.9 only then.  Also,
it would be good to add patches for x86_64.

Just a side note: I think this is an awesome side effect of our CI
setup. "Here's a hyperlink to a log that shows that this builds AND
boots in qemu."

Yes, I will work on x86_64 now.

Greg,
Would you please cherry pick the following 26 patches from mainline to
4.9.y stable branch? (applied top to bottom)

I verified that they cherry-pick cleanly, and boot on x86_64 and
arm64.  I will follow up with more patches cleaning up the warnings,
adding arm 32b support, and the backport patches themselves when they
do not cherry pick cleanly.

Ok, while I did say having a list of git commit ids was ok, I didn't
realize it was going to be this long :)

If you do have a tested set of patches like this already in your tree, I
would be more than willing to take a git pull request or a mbox of them
all, and apply them that way.

As for the format of them, look at how David Miller sends networking
mbox files, with the "upstream commit" line as the first line of the
patch, so that we know where the patch came from.

Also, it gives me a better way to review them and see if these really
are sane enough for the stable tree.

For 4.9 I can sort of understand the request, but for 4.4, that is
really old now, and no one should be making new devices with that kernel
release (same for 4.9, but yeah, I know...)  So I doubt anyone cares
about clang backports for 4.4 which is why I only accepted a few tiny
patches for that in the past into that tree.

thanks,

Hi Greg,

While the number of commits seems rather high, all together they are a
rather small set of changes. It's mostly just shuffling around and
extending what is already there.

Here is an mbox file with all of the patches properly backported with
their respective commit IDs if you would like to do a quick review (and
I think I did this right...). We have verified that it allows both an
arm64 and an x86_64 kernel to boot in QEMU with Clang.

Your git list above says "4.9", but the mbox says "4.4", so I'm
confused.  Which tree is this mbox for?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. Earlier in the thread, I stated that
I did the backports for 4.4 and Nick was going to do them for 4.9. The
patches are sitting in our continuous integration repo but I don't want
to step on his toes so I'll let him send them. I sent mine out since it
would be a similar set of changes and wanted to show that even for 4.4,
it's not a super intrusive set of changes and the work has already been
done. They should apply cleanly on top of 4.4.163.

Thanks,
Nathan

Ok, they look sane.  But I need the 4.9 patch set "first", as I don't
want anyone to move from 4.4 to 4.9 or newer and have breakages.

And the patch format all looks great as well, I can consume this
directly, thank you so much for this.  I'll wait for the 4.9 series
before queueing them up.

thanks,

Thank you Greg and Nathan (and the many folks that wrote these
patches).  There should be a few more; things we manually backport,
arm32 support, and probably a bunch of warning fixes, but these can
wait until after the (US) holidays (Thanksgiving).  I plan to triple
check that Nathan and my patch sets are equivalent.
