Subject: [GIT PULL] Kbuild updates for 6.18
Hi Linus,
Please pull these updates to Kbuild for 6.18. This is my first pull
request, so if I have done something incorrect or unsatisfactory to
your standards, please let me know so I (and Nicolas) can avoid
repeating mistakes in the future.
The majority of these changes have been in -next for several cycles
with no reported problems. I am only aware of one conflict with the
arm64 tree around CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, Mark's resolution looks
correct to me.
https://lore.kernel.org/aNU-sG84vqPj7p7G@sirena.org.uk/
There are several changes from other areas (mostly architectures) that
should have their appropriate acks and such.
There is a back merge of 6.17-rc6, which should have sufficient
justification but I know back merges can be contentious so I figured
I would be open with it up front anyways. Looking back on it, I probably
should have only merged up to 6.17-rc4 for commit bd7c2312128e ("pinctrl:
meson: Fix typo in device table macro") but I went with -rc6 to try and
head off a simple conflict from commit 41f9049cff32 ("riscv: Only allow
LTO with CMODEL_MEDANY") in -rc5. In the end, it didn't matter because
of the arm64 conflict so I will be more careful in the future.
Cheers,
Nathan

modpost: Initialize builtin_modname to stop SIGSEGVs (2025-09-28 07:54:07 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Kbuild updates for 6.18
- Extend modules.builtin.modinfo to include module aliases from
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for builtin modules so that userspace tools (such
as kmod) can verify that a particular module alias will be handled by
a builtin module.
- Bump the minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0.
- Upgrade several userspace API checks in headers_check.pl to errors.
- Unify and consolidate CONFIG_WERROR / W=e handling.
- Turn assembler and linker warnings into errors with CONFIG_WERROR /
W=e.
- Respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e when building userspace programs
(userprogs).
- Enable -Werror unconditionally when building host programs
(hostprogs).
- Support copy_file_range() and data segment alignment in gen_init_cpio
to improve performance on filesystems that support reflinks such as
btrfs and XFS.
- Miscellaneous small changes to scripts and configuration files.
