Niltze [Hello]
I have hacked an official 'Debian Packaging for 5.15.15-2 for
backports' and wrapped it over an reiser4 -enhanced 5.15.220
Won't an overflow occur in the third register?
..and even if that were the case, Ed, the reiser4 for 5.16 patch we are
still stuck with applies, with my own modifications and/or upstream
commit revert(s), to 5.17.15 (last)! kernel 5.18 is a totally different
beast which requires the reiser4 patch to substantively modify its code.
And thus the reasoning for the reiser4 5.15 LTS hack is to address the
"Total Vulnerable CVE's in 5.17.15 : 7035" shortcomings "That's a
non-trivial amount..." ;-)

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"..
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:
< https://metztli.it/lts > [2]
