JFYI, when comparing v5.12-rc3[1] to v5.12-rc2[3], the summaries are:
  - build errors: +2/-2

2 error regressions:
  + /kisskb/src/include/linux/compiler_types.h: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_248' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG failed:  => 320:38

powerpc-gcc4.9/ppc64_book3e_allmodconfig

So we traded implicit declaration errors:

  - /kisskb/src/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/calcs/dcn_calcs.c:
error: implicit declaration of function 'disable_kernel_vsx'
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]: 674:2 =>

for compile-time assertions.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
