We want to use kernel rebuilds as a gating test for toolchain updates.
Unfortunately, per
Information for package kernel
<
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8>
the last successful rawhide kernel build was on 2021-04-28.
The question is what we should do about build failures like this.
Should we use non-rawhide kernels for our gating tests?
(The bug appears to be in BTF generation: it is not valid to assume that
static functions or variables are emitted under their declared names, or
that they have any particular calling convention or data layout. It's
probably best to drop the static if symbols are used for BTF extraction.
An alternative would be to use __attribute__ ((used)) instead, but then
the linker won't check for name collisions, which would result in
incorrect BTF.)
Thanks,
Florian
