[PATCH v2 Linux-6.12.y Linux-6.13.y 1/1] selftests/mm: build with -O2

[Yifei Liu]

From: Kevin Brodsky <kevin.brodsky@arm.com>

[ Upstream commit 46036188ea1f5266df23a6149dea0df1c77cd1c7 ]

The mm kselftests are currently built with no optimisation (-O0).  It's
unclear why, and besides being obviously suboptimal, this also prevents
the pkeys tests from working as intended.  Let's build all the tests with
-O2.

This does not apply to 6.13 :(

[Yifei Liu]

Hi Greg, 
Yes, looks we only need this for linux-6.12.y. Maybe we could use the v1 version which does not include the linux-6.13.y tag. Or I can send a v3 with the linux-6.12.y only. 
Thank you

As you know, we can't take patches for only older kernels and not newer
ones.  Please submit them for all relevant branches, AND test your
patches before you submit them so that they don't fail on our side, as
that just wastes our energy :(

For this patch, I believe it failed to apply to linux-6.13 due to another same patch applied before it. Commit d9eb5a1e76f5 ("selftests/mm: build with -O2”) goes into linux-6.13 with tag v6.13.2, last week’s tag. I checked the queue-6.12 and do not see this patch yet for v6.12. I think we still need this for v6.12. About the patch, it fixes a build issue for selftest/mm, which is bacported to v6.12. Thus this patch should only be backported to v6.12.

I tested it on my device and it works fine and solved the failure of selftest.

Hi Greg, 

I checked the v6.12.16 tag released last Friday. It does not contain this patch. It looks we will not see the same situation we have for v6.13 like I mentioned above and it’s safe to include this in v6.12. 

I could resend a v3 with all the linux-6.13.y tags removed if you want.

I don't know what "this patch" is here, sorry, I have no context.

Whatever needs to be applied, yes, please resend it properly.
