Subject: [merged mm-nonmm-stable] compiler-clangh-require-llvm-1910-or-higher-for-__typeof_unqual__.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2026 16:16:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260201001645.92A24C4CEF1@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: compiler-clang.h: require LLVM 19.1.0 or higher for __typeof_unqual__
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     compiler-clangh-require-llvm-1910-or-higher-for-__typeof_unqual__.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: compiler-clang.h: require LLVM 19.1.0 or higher for __typeof_unqual__

When building the kernel using a version of LLVM between llvmorg-19-init
(the first commit of the LLVM 19 development cycle) and the change in
LLVM that actually added __typeof_unqual__ for all C modes [1], which
might happen during a bisect of LLVM, there is a build failure:

The current logic of CC_HAS_TYPEOF_UNQUAL just checks for a major
version of 19 but half of the 19 development cycle did not have support
for __typeof_unqual__.

Harden the logic of CC_HAS_TYPEOF_UNQUAL to avoid this error by only
using __typeof_unqual__ with a released version of LLVM 19, which is
greater than or equal to 19.1.0 with LLVM's versioning scheme that
matches GCC's [2].
