[SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

edit: solution is listed down.

Hi all ,
Tried to understand reading around but is clear I'm missing steps.

I'm using the kernel linux-vfio for the IMMO groups.
After the usual system update now the nvidia module wont load anymore.
I thought , fine I have to recompile the kernel (is happened several times, it's ok) , done , still error.
All is switching to the gcc 12.1 ...
The kernel was re-compiled with the 11.2 despite in the system there are only the 12.1. How is possible?

[server@server ~]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.1.0/lto-wrapper

Thread model: posix
Supported LTO compression algorithms: zlib zstd
gcc version 12.1.0 (GCC) 
[server@server ~]$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
[server@server ~]$ which gcc-12.1
which: no gcc-12.1 in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

I cleared the cache of yay with "yay -Scc". Rebooted in the stock kernel , installed back again the  linux-vfio 5.17.4.arch1-1 (downloaded the source , 30min of compiling, still error because the kernel seems come compiled with the gcc 11.2 ? )
Sorry for the noob question , but the source is compiled itself with the gcc? Then I recompile it again on my system?

Some tips is appreciated !

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

What is the value of CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT from /usr/lib/modules/5.17.4-arch1-1-vfio/build/.config and does .BUILDINFO of the kernel package contain 'installed = gcc-11.2.0-4-x86_64' (.BUILDINFO is in the root of the package archive)

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

Thanks for the support :-)

The /usr/lib/modules/5.17.4-arch1-1-vfio/build/.config :

# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Linux/x86 5.17.4-arch1 Kernel Configuration
#
CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (GCC) 11.2.0"
CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC=y
CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=110200
CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION=0
CONFIG_AS_IS_GNU=y
CONFIG_AS_VERSION=23800
CONFIG_LD_IS_BFD=y
CONFIG_LD_VERSION=23800
CONFIG_LLD_VERSION=0
CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK=y
CONFIG_CC_CAN_LINK_STATIC=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_INLINE=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_NO_PROFILE_FN_ATTR=y
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y
CONFIG_BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT=y
CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y

Downloading the snapshot ,  it contain the "config" as above.
In the sources https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-vfio-headers still the content is the exactly the same.

I should change the line CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (GCC) 11.2.0" to CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (GCC) 12.1.0"  , save the file and recompile the kernel?

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

No the build will set CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT and related values.  If you still have the $srcdir for the new build does the $srcdir/linux-vfio/.config show gcc 11 or 12?

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

Ok I lunched again the compiling for regenerate the src and it say 11.2 ( /home/server/.cache/yay/linux-vfio/src/config )

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

Does it help if you manually remove /home/server/.cache/yay/linux-vfio folder and then build again ?

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

@Lone thanks for the tip but unfortunately I tried already to clear the cache with yay -Scc. When I execute this command it clear the src folder and I have to re-download the source.
Is there not way to compile it with the gcc 12.1?

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

What is the output of

type -a gcc

If you remove the use of yay and instead use

makepkg -Crso

The build will stop after prepare has been executed.  Check the version of gcc recorded in $srcdir/linux-vfio/.config

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

[server@server ~]$ type -a gcc
gcc is /usr/bin/gcc

Executed the makepkg -Crso and the result of ~/linux-vfio/src/config is identical to the "config" above with gcc 11.2.
But in the console are mentioned the 12.1 :

-CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (GCC) 11.2.0"
+CONFIG_CC_VERSION_TEXT="gcc (GCC) 12.1.0"

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

The output from makepkg looks promising.  You can continue that build with:

makepkg -ers

Re: [SOLVED] gcc version 12.1 compiling linux-vfio

Invaluable help , TNX. (alone I would take age for found this solution also reading the makepkg page)
It worked !!!
I mark as solved and update this tip on the linux-vfio page.
Proud to use Arch.
