Indeed.
Thanks for testing, Guenter!
Greg, could you please replace the patch in queue/4.14 with
the one below? It simply uses another stack start, which is ok since the
machine will stop anyway.
No changes needed for your other stable-queues. I tested 4.19 and
it's ok as-is.
Thanks!
Helge

Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Prevent booting 64-bit kernels on PA1.x machines
commit a406b8b424fa01f244c1aab02ba186258448c36b upstream.
Bail out early with error message when trying to boot a 64-bit kernel on
32-bit machines. This fixes the previous commit to include the check for
true 64-bit kernels as well.
Patch modified for 4.14 to use __bss_stop for stack. This is OK, since
the machine will halt after printing the warning.

I believed that the agreement with maintarner was that these are not
suitable for stable? There's no actual bug, but UBSAN warns anyway...

This is wrong. It is patching userland code, there's no memory leak,
kernel closes file descriptors upon task exit.

This is a good cleanup, but not a bugfix.

Just a cleanup, not sure why it was picked for stable.

Just an additional bit of information, there have been quite many cleanups
from me which have recently gotten the stable notification for some
mysterious reason. When I had tens of them in my inbox and for various
kernel versions, I immediately stopped caring to stop it from happening.
AFAIK, I've not marked those for stable inclusion so I've no idea what
got them included.

Fixes tag can do it. Plus, "AUTOSEL" robot does it randomly, with no
human oversight :-(.

the autosel bot has lots of oversight.

Can you describe how that oversight works?

There have been many papers and presentations about it, no need for me
to say it all here again...

Give a pointer.
And explain why AUTOSEL is full of cleanups, as noticed by Ilpo, me
and others. AFAICT Sasha does not hand-check patches picked by
AUTOSEL, simply spams the mailing lists, and hopes that maintainers
will react. And they won't, because they don't understand the
implications, and simply ignore the spam. Or they will, and Sasha
simply ignores the reply.
If the process is something else, give me a pointer to explanation.
Thanks,
Pavel

I know Fixes tag will surely do it. However, the two above mentioned
patches were in series that were sent without any Fixes tags nor cc
stables for any of the patches within the same series.

Incorrect, I just gotten tired of litigating this with *you*.
How about this: instead of complaining about work you get for free, try
doing it yourself and send us a list of patches that should go into the
-stable tree during the next merge window. Deal?
