From 118c40b7b50340bf7ff7e0adee8e3bab6e552c82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2025 18:21:44 +0100 Subject: kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30 Commit a3e8fe814ad1 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1") raised the minimum compiler version as enforced by Kbuild to gcc-8.1 and clang-15 for x86. This is actually the same gcc version that has been discussed as the minimum for all architectures several times in the past, with little objection. A previous concern was the kernel for SLE15-SP7 needing to be built with gcc-7. As this ended up still using linux-6.4 and there is no plan for an SP8, this is no longer a problem. Change it for all architectures and adjust the documentation accordingly. A few version checks can be removed in the process. The binutils version 2.30 is the lowest version used in combination with gcc-8 on common distros, so use that as the corresponding minimum.

It turns out that fixing cc-option is pretty straightforward: just rewrite any '-Wno-xyzzy' option pattern to use '-Wxyzzy' instead for testing. That makes the whole artificial distinction between 'cc-option' and 'cc-disable-warning' go away, and we can happily forget about the odd build rule that you have to treat compiler options that disable warnings specially. The 'cc-disable-warning' helper remains as a backwards compatibility syntax for now, but is implemented in terms of the new and improved cc-option.
