Hi! TWIMC just a quick heads up for the rc3 kernel rebase in rawhide, as I noticed a problem during my kernel vanilla builds that afaics will hit Fedora also and can easily be missed during the update afaics:
The COPYING changed Friday night (see below), which will result in a RPM file conflict if not worked around (sorry, German error message, but I guess you'll get the idea):
Datei /usr/share/licenses/kernel-core/COPYING-5.6.0 aus der Installation von kernel-core-5.6.0-0.rc3.git0.1.vanilla.knurd.1.fc33.x86_64 kollidiert mit der Datei aus dem Paket kernel-core
-5.6.0-0.rc2.git3.1.fc33.x86_64
CU, knurd
P.S.: Ohh, BTW: 0001-x86-Don-t-declare-__force_order-in-kaslr_64.c.patch can be dropped, as a fix was merged upstream (that's more obvious, but I thought I just mentioned it anyway just in case it makes somebodys life easier)

COPYING: state that all contributions really are covered by this file Explicitly state that all contributions to the kernel source tree really are covered under this COPYING file in case someone thought otherwise. Lawyers love to be pedantic, even more so than software engineers at times, and this sentence makes them sleep easier. Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner tglx@linutronix.de Acked-by: Gustavo A. R.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've added the release field to the file which means that we won't have to deal with this problem again at the expense of users having a couple more copies of the file if using Rawhide kernels.
