This is certainly going to be an issue to take up with upstream, there is nothing specific to Fedora's packaging in this regard. It cannot be simply turned off anymore, with 5.12 it is hidden behind CONFIG_EXPERT. Upstream expects it to be on. I did actually experiment with flipping expert and trying to sync up our configs with those options just last week. It exposed roughly 200 new config options that aren't able to be set without expert enabled, and left us with over 1000 places that the config had changed unexpectedly, meaning to fix all of that would be hours of work that no one in particularly interested in doing. https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20210118123451.1452206-1-npiggin@gmail.com/ is the change that forced it on. ------- Comment From srikar.dronamraju.com 2021-07-29 02:08 EDT------- Posted a patch which reads "Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Fix regression while building external modules" https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20210729060449.292780-1-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com/t/#u ------- Comment From srikar.dronamraju.com 2021-08-02 00:45 EDT------- (In reply to comment #5) > Posted a patch which reads "Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/pseries: Fix regression > while building external modules" > > https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20210729060449.292780-1-srikar@linux. > vnet.ibm.com/t/#u Now this patch has been accepted in the mainline kernel.
