[SOLVED] regression on -current with gcc-11.3.0

nobodino · 04-25-2022, 11:47 PM

While upgrading gcc to 11.3.0 version, I tried to build the kernel with the script "build-all-kernels.sh".
I noticed 2 unusual things:

First it waits for the last line:

Code:

Symmetric multi-processing support (SMP) [Y/n/?] y
Support x2apic (X86_X2APIC) [Y/n/?] y
Enable MPS table (X86_MPPARSE) [Y/n/?] y
Avoid speculative indirect branches in kernel (RETPOLINE) [Y/n/?] y
Mitigate Straight-Line-Speculation (SLS) [N/y/?] (NEW)

Secondly, after building the source package it waits forever, nothing happens:

Code:

Slackware package /tmp/kernel-source-5.17.4-noarch-1.txz created.

Verifying package kernel-source-5.17.4-noarch-1.txz.
Installing package kernel-source-5.17.4-noarch-1.txz:

I have had this happen on kernels before. If it prompts you for a option that is not in the config then it appears to freeze at where you indicated. Just hit enter a few times and the build should continue.

Would this help?

It only helps for the first wait, not the second.

update: by typing "enter" while waiting the 2nd time, it starts again.
I need to type "enter" each time a new step is achieved.
