Some of the entries in both Documentation/process/changes.rst and script/ver_linux were obsolete; update them to reflect the current way of getting version information. Many were missing altogether; add the relevant information for: bash, bc, bindgen, btrfs-progs, Clang, gdb, GNU awk, GNU tar, GRUB, GRUB2, gtags, iptables, kmod, mcelog, mkimage, openssl, pahole, Python, Rust, Sphinx, squashfs-tools Signed-off-by: Manuel Ebner <manuelebner@mailbox.org> [jc: rewrote changelog] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <20260325194616.78093-2-manuelebner@mailbox.org>
This reverts commit 98e7b5752898f74788098bef51f53205e365ab9d. I had not intended to apply this version of this patch; take it out and we'll try again later. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
It is a pain in the ass to compare the software versions on the running system (scripts/ver_linux) with the minimal required versions.

The code that acquires the version strings for libc and libcpp is identical, as is the printversion call. The only difference being the name of the library being printed. Refactor the code by unifying the bits that are common to both libraries.

Query ld cache for versions of both libc and libcpp run-time, instead of querying /proc/self/maps for libc run-time, and ld cache for libcpp run-time, thus reducing code size and complexity.

The regular expression that matches the version number of a utility being queried is used as a constant expression in the current implementation. Assigning the RE in question to a variable gives it a meaningful name that clearly expresses the intended use of the expression without having to think about the details of implementation.
