Subject: Re: [PATCH] kdb: Get rid of broken attempt to print CCVERSION in kdb summary

This patch is technically super easy,
but shows how difficult to apply a
single patch in a correct manner.


The following showed up in today's linux-next,
doubling
"Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@...omium.org>"

This is obviously caused by the committer.

Do we need some check script for maintainers
before "git push" ?

    kdb: Get rid of broken attempt to print CCVERSION in kdb summary

    If you drop into kdb and type "summary", it prints out a line that
    says this:

      ccversion  CCVERSION

    ...and I don't mean that it actually prints out the version of the C
    compiler.  It literally prints out the string "CCVERSION".

    The version of the C Compiler is already printed at boot up and it
    doesn't seem useful to replicate this in kdb.  Let's just delete it.
    We can also delete the bit of the Makefile that called the C compiler
    in an attempt to pass this into kdb.  This will remove one extra call
    to the C compiler at Makefile parse time and (very slightly) speed up
    builds.
