Subject: 6.6.84-rc1 build regression on ia64 (and possibly other architectures)
Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2025 13:47:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <68e093fb-556d-4267-9430-ff9fddc1c3d1@web.de> (raw)

Dear Greg,

I see that the review for 6.6.84-rc1 hasn't started yet, but as it was
already available on [1], our CI has already tried to built it for ia64
in the morning. Unfortunately that failed - I assume due to the
following **missing** upstream commit:

https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8887086ef2e0047ec321103a15e7d766be3a3874

[1]: https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git/commit/?h=linux-6.6.y

Build failure (see [2]):

[3] (fa671e4f1556e2c18e5443f777a75ae041290068 upstream) includes
definitions for these variables, but they are guarded by CONFIG_LOGO.
But in `drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c` those variables are used
unguarded with 6.6.84-rc1. The above upstream commit (8887086) fixes
that IIUC. Not build-tested yet, though.

Cheers,
Frank
