Subject: [PATCH 0/7 5.10.y] Cherry pick of minmax.h commits from 5.15.y
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2025 21:22:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250916212259.48517-1-farbere@amazon.com> (raw)
This series backports seven commits from v5.15.y that update minmax.h
and related code:
- ed6e37e30826 ("tracing: Define the is_signed_type() macro once")
- 998f03984e25 ("minmax: sanity check constant bounds when clamping")
- d470787b25e6 ("minmax: clamp more efficiently by avoiding extra
comparison")
- 1c2ee5bc9f11 ("minmax: fix header inclusions")
- d53b5d862acd ("minmax: allow min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments
have the same signedness.")
- 7ed91c5560df ("minmax: allow comparisons of 'int' against 'unsigned
char/short'")
- 22f7794ef5a3 ("minmax: relax check to allow comparison between
unsigned arguments and signed constants")
The main motivation is commit d53b5d862acd, which removes the strict
type check in min()/max() when both arguments have the same signedness.
Without this, kernel 5.10 builds can emit warnings that become build
failures when -Werror is used.
Additionally, commit ed6e37e30826 from tracing is required as a
dependency; without it, compilation fails.

signedness.

signed constants
