2021-09-13Documentation: raise minimum supported version of GCC to 5.1Nick Desaulniers1-7/+1
commit fad7cd3310db ("nbd: add the check to prevent overflow in __nbd_ioctl()") raised an issue from the fallback helpers added in commit f0907827a8a9 ("compiler.h: enable builtin overflow checkers and add fallback code") Specifically, the helpers for checking whether the results of a multiplication overflowed (__unsigned_mul_overflow, __signed_add_overflow) use the division operator when !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW. This is problematic for 64b operands on 32b hosts. Also, because the macro is type agnostic, it is very difficult to write a similarly type generic macro that dispatches to one of: * div64_s64 * div64_u64 * div_s64 * div_u64 Raising the minimum supported versions allows us to remove all of the fallback helpers for !COMPILER_HAS_GENERIC_BUILTIN_OVERFLOW, instead dispatching the compiler builtins. arm64 has already raised the minimum supported GCC version to 5.1, do this for all targets now. See the link below for the previous discussion.

2021-06-28scripts/min-tool-version.sh: Raise minimum clang version to 13.0.0 for s390Nathan Chancellor1-1/+6
clang versions prior to the current development version of 13.0.0 cannot compile s390 after commit 3abbdfde5a65 ("s390/bitops: use register pair instead of register asm") and the s390 maintainers do not intend to work around this in the kernel. Codify this in scripts/min-tool-version.sh similar to arm64 with GCC 5.1.0 so that there are no reports of broken builds. [hca@linux.ibm.com: breaking compatibility with older clang compilers is intended to finally make use of a feature which allows the compiler to allocate even/odd register pairs. This is possible since a very long time with gcc, but only since llvm-project commit d058262b1471 ("[SystemZ] Support i128 inline asm operands.") with clang. Using that feature allows to get rid of error prone register asm statements, of which the above named kernel commit is only the first of a larger not yet complete series.] Reported-by: Naresh Kamboju <naresh.kamboju@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Acked-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210617193139.856957-1-nathan@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
2021-04-25kbuild: collect minimum tool versions into scripts/min-tool-version.shMasahiro Yamada1-0/+39
The kernel build uses various tools, many of which are provided by the same software suite, for example, LLVM and Binutils. When you raise the minimum version of Clang/LLVM, you need to update clang_min_version in scripts/cc-version.sh and also lld_min_version in scripts/ld-version.sh. Kbuild can handle CC=clang and LD=ld.lld independently, but it does not make much sense to maintain their versions separately. Let's create a central place of minimum tool versions so you do not need to touch multiple files. scripts/min-tool-version.sh prints the minimum version of the given tool.
