So I did a comparison with a full allyesconfig between -rc2 and -rc2 + v4. I find quite a lot binary differences, but not a single objdump -d difference (object file by object file) just by fixing UTS_RELEASE to the same value, so I guess that is a very good sign in case someone wants to pick the entire series sooner than expected. Regardless, I will send the separate __naked patches. I should note that, at some point in one of my allyesconfig builds I got this: UPD include/generated/compile.h CC init/version.o AR init/built-in.a AR built-in.a LD vmlinux.o MODPOST vmlinux.o ld: drivers/edac/amd64_edac.o(.text+0x200031d2): reloc against `__asan_load4_noabort': error 4 ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output Makefile:1035: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Running make (without cleaning) didn't reproduce it, and the other allyesconfig builds didn't suffer any problem either. Maybe my hardware is failing, but I wanted to let you know nevertheless. Cheers, Miguel
