Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ACPI: tools: Fix stale headers in incremental builds
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 16:37:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005153723.2644331-1-fuad.tabba@linux.dev> (raw)
Hi folks,
Two fixes for incremental builds of the ACPI tools, which compile
against old headers after a header changes. The first replaces the
copy of include/acpi with a link, so the tools see the current headers.
The second adds dependency files, so objects that include a changed
header are rebuilt.
I found these while fixing the same kind of bug in the KVM selftests'
sysreg header [1].
Based on Linux 7.3-rc5 (72d3fcf802c45).
Cheers,
/fuad
