Bug 678556 – sys-kernel/gentoo-sources: 5011_enable-cpu-optimizations-for-gcc8.patch missing from genpatches-4.20-11.experimental.tar.xz

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oleg Serytsan 2019-02-22 08:56:17 UTC]

According to the kernel-2.eclass, the 5011_enable-cpu-optimizations-for-gcc8.patch pacth should be applied for systems with gcc-8. But current genpatches-4.20-11.experimental.tar.xz archive doesn't contain it.

I took it out because that patch from upstream does not apply cleanly to 4.20.


So, that is actually on purpose. 

I'll be looking at this patch for 4.20 this weekend and hope to have something working with 4.20.12 or 4.20.11-r1.

Testing results welcome:

I'm running it now with no issues.

Thank you.
I'm running it now with no issues, too.

Thanks, I see 4.20.12 is in review [1] so I will probably wait for that to go out and include this patch with it.
