This commit was reported by our CI as breaking the allmodconfig build for the arm and arm64 architectures when using GCC 15. This is due to https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/367 : 00:05:08 arch/arm64/kernel/kexec_image.c:132:14: internal compiler error: in comptypes_check_enum_int, at c/c-typeck.cc:1519 00:05:08 132 | const struct kexec_file_ops kexec_image_ops = { 00:05:08 | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~I'm not able to reproduce this. Which specific version of GCC 15 and on what distro are you seeing this?It looks like this was also reported to Debian (I originally noticed it in the #gcc channel on OFTC a couple of weeks ago but forgot to mention it): https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1104745 It looks like the difference might be whether GCC was built with additional checks or not based on the last couple of comments in that bug.
Proposed fix here: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250530221824.work.623-kees@kernel.org/ (local) -- Kees Cook
