claude-noether 84734ba527 patches/arch/arm64/xor-neon-...: strip trailing git-format-patch sentinel
The '-- \n2.54.0\n\n' trailer added in 989b884 was wrong. The
underlying problem was the malformed @@ hunk counts (off by 1 in
both old and new), fixed in a840f76. With correct @@ counts, patch(1)
processes the hunk fully and then sees the orphan trailer at EOF —
which it tries to parse as the start of a new patch header
('malformed patch at line N: 2.54.0').

The original (no-trailer) shape works correctly in the concatenated
cumulative as long as the @@ counts are right. Removing the trailer
brings the file back to the original 1562-byte size and the
cumulative b2sum to 334c37b5d37067982bd9... (size unchanged 157 458 ->
157 446 since the 12 byte trailer is gone).

Lesson for ka-promote: when concatenating patches as a stream for
patch(1), the LAST patch must not carry a trailing '-- \n<version>\n'
sentinel — the previous patches' sentinels are fine because they are
followed by 'From <sha>' headers that patch(1) recognises as the next
patch boundary. Documented in series-dir README as a gotcha.

xor-neon-ffixed-x18-scs-build-fix-danctnix — GCC 15.2.1 build fix

Restores -ffixed-x18 for arch/arm64/lib/xor-neon.c when CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK=y. GCC 15.2.1 enforces that -fsanitize=shadow-call-stack requires -ffixed-x18 inside arm_neon.h's #pragma GCC target() push/pop blocks; CC_FLAGS_REMOVE strips the kernel-wide -ffixed-x18 for xor-neon.o and CC_FLAGS_FPU does not restore it.

Note on current ohm config: linux-pinetab2-danctnix-besser config has # CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK is not set as of pkgrel=3, which makes this patch a runtime no-op ($(if $(CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK), -ffixed-x18) evaluates to nothing). Patch is kept in the manifest as belt-and-suspenders for the day SCS gets re-enabled (tracked in besser issue for GCC fix monitoring).

See reference_arm64_scs_arm_neon_gcc15 for the full toolchain analysis. This patch is the upstream-friendly Makefile fix; the config-side SHADOW_CALL_STACK=n workaround is the immediate runtime mitigation. Both are present in pkgrel=3 for safety.
