This series backports 27 patches to update minmax.h in the 5.10.y
branch, aligning it with v6.17-rc7.
The ultimate goal is to synchronize all long-term branches so that they
include the full set of minmax.h changes.
- 6.12.y has already been backported; the changes are included in
v6.12.49.
- 6.6.y has already been backported; the changes are included in
v6.6.109.
- 6.1.y has already been backported; the changes are currently in the
6.1-stable tree.
- 5.15.y has already been backported; the changes are currently in the
5.15-stable tree.
The key motivation is to bring in commit d03eba99f5bf ("minmax: allow
min()/max()/clamp() if the arguments have the same signedness"), which
is missing in kernel 5.10.y.
In mainline, this change enables min()/max()/clamp() to accept mixed
argument types, provided both have the same signedness. Without it,
backported patches that use these forms may trigger compiler warnings,
which escalate to build failures when -Werror is enabled.
The first two patches in this series were added to prevent build
failures caused by changes introduced later in minmax.h.
- Commit 92d23c6e9415 ("overflow, tracing: Define the is_signed_type()
macro once") is needed for commit 75ca38c1960f ("minmax: allow
min()/max()/clamp()").
- Commit cea628008fc8 ("btrfs: remove duplicated in_range() macro") is
needed for commit f9bff0e31881 ("minmax: add in_range() macro").
The changes were tested using `make allyesconfig` and
`make allmodconfig` for arm64, arm, x86_64 and i386 architectures.
