Niltze [Hello]
I have hacked an official 'Debian Packaging for 5.15.15-2 for

Won't an overflow occur in the third register?
That's why I tagged you, Sr., you are the expert ;-) Notwithstanding,
approximately one week + of daily use / testing development has not
introduced anomalies, except for the dmesg flooding and missing
pahole-*.sh files; issues which have been resolved with integrated
patches into the Debian Packaging for 5.5.220 framework.
Has anyone even tried porting Reiser4/5 to newer kernels (5.17+)? As
far as I remember, for this, one had to make a friendship with the
newly introduced "folios"..
5.15 LTS has not introduced 'folios', yet, as far as I analyzed the
commits.
Thanks,
Edward.
LTS. During the task I added to debian/patches directory support
for upstream RTW89 WiFi 6 module(s) and 'drm/amd/display: Avoid
flooding unnecessary info messages' modified patch based on:

The build completes nicely and I am using the reiser4 5.15.220 LTS
kernel, testing it during daily use:
< https://metztli.it/lts > [2]
When it came time to build VirtualBox 7.2.20 during my testing,
the
/usr/src/linux-headers-*-common/scripts/
package missed inclusion of
pahole-version.sh
pahole-flags.sh
which, of course, are part of and under 5.15.220/linux/scripts
directory.
Question I have is, where in the Debian Packaging for x.y.z
framework can I define the extra files missing from my current
build?
Any hints would be appreciated very much!
Never mind, issue is solved by modifying
debian/rules.d/scripts/Makefile and specifying those missing files
in my Debian Packaging for 5.15.220 LTS patch, again, as just
elaborated at:
