kbuild: collect minimum tool versions into scripts/min-tool-version.sh The kernel build uses various tools, many of which are provided by the same software suite, for example, LLVM and Binutils. When you raise the minimum version of Clang/LLVM, you need to update clang_min_version in scripts/cc-version.sh and also lld_min_version in scripts/ld-version.sh. Kbuild can handle CC=clang and LD=ld.lld independently, but it does not make much sense to maintain their versions separately. Let's create a central place of minimum tool versions so you do not need to touch multiple files. scripts/min-tool-version.sh prints the minimum version of the given tool.

kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30 Commit a3e8fe814ad1 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1") raised the minimum compiler version as enforced by Kbuild to gcc-8.1 and clang-15 for x86. This is actually the same gcc version that has been discussed as the minimum for all architectures several times in the past, with little objection. A previous concern was the kernel for SLE15-SP7 needing to be built with gcc-7. As this ended up still using linux-6.4 and there is no plan for an SP8, this is no longer a problem. Change it for all architectures and adjust the documentation accordingly. A few version checks can be removed in the process. The binutils version 2.30 is the lowest version used in combination with gcc-8 on common distros, so use that as the corresponding minimum.

Debian Trixie has 19.1.7 and Ubuntu Noble has 18.1.3 (so there are viable upgrade paths) or users can use apt.llvm.org, which provides even newer packages for those distributions.

scripts/min-tool-version.sh: Raise minimum clang version to 18.0.0 for loongarch The existing mainline clang development version encounters difficulties compiling the LoongArch kernel module. It is anticipated that this issue will be resolved in the upcoming 18.0.0 release. To prevent user confusion arising from broken builds, it is advisable to raise the minimum required clang version for LoongArch to 18.0.0.

rust: bump Rust minimum supported version to 1.85.0 (Debian Trixie) As proposed in the past in e.g. LPC 2025 and the Maintainers Summit [1], we are going to follow Debian Stable's Rust versions as our minimum supported version. Debian Trixie was released with a Rust 1.85.0 toolchain [2], which it still uses to this day [3] (i.e. no update to Rust 1.85.1). Debian Trixie's release happened on 2025-08-09 [4], which means that a fair amount of time has passed since its release for kernel developers to upgrade. Thus bump the minimum to the new version. Then, in later commits, clean up most of the workarounds and other bits that this upgrade of the minimum allows us. pin-init was left as-is since the patches come from upstream. And the vendored crates are unmodified, since we do not want to change those. Note that the minimum LLVM major version for Rust 1.85.0 is LLVM 18 (the Rust upstream binaries use LLVM 19.1.7), thus e.g. `RUSTC_LLVM_VERSION` tests can also be updated, but there are no suitable ones to simplify. Ubuntu 25.10 also has a recent enough Rust toolchain [5], and they also provide versioned packages with a Rust 1.85.1 toolchain even back to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS [6].
