Hi,
Although I tried to speed things up, this patch has not yet made it to
GCC trunk, but it has been committed in upstream libsanitizer.
While testing a cherry-pick of the relevant commit, I realized that we
already have aarch64 machines running older kernels, and applying this
patch means GCC would no longer build on such configurations.
I'm unsure about the desirable approach:
A- modify upsteam libsanitizer so that
__sanitizer___kernel_old_[gu]id_t are defined to match the definition
of the kernel headers used to build GCC
B- drop backward compatibility and make it impossible to build
gcc+libsanitizer on aarch64 with a kernel older than 3.15.3
A: means I have to iterate with upstream libsanitizer, to discuss &
agree on a patch, then cherry-pick it to GCC
B: I can do it now, but since 3.15.3 is rather new, it's a bit harsh
for users, and maybe a libsanitizer/configure.tgt update would be
desirable to cleanly prevent trying to build libsanitizer in a no
longer supported configuration.
It also means that binary toolchains have another implicit dependency
on the kernel versions (runtime and build-time ones).
Thanks,
Christophe.
