Hello,
Could you please apply 8f15c682ac5a ("rcutorture: Automatically create initrd directory") to 4.19 stable kernels. The patch made it in 5.0.
This is required to make rcutorture work, without it I get build failures like so:
CC arch/x86/mm/init_64.o CC arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o /home/joelaf/repo/chromiumos/chromiumos/src/third_party/kernel/v4.19/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S: Assembler messages: /home/joelaf/repo/chromiumos/chromiumos/src/third_party/kernel/v4.19/arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:1762: Warning: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register operands; using default for `sysret' AS arch/x86/realmode/rm/stack.o CC arch/x86/kernel/cpu/microcode/core.o AR arch/x86/crypto/built-in.a CC mm/filemap.o CC arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry.text+0x1c2: unsupported intra-function call arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.
