Hi Lucas, chiming in here since I also care about building on macOS.

Is this the approach taken for other similar issues you had? Note that
argv[0] and program_invocation_short_name are not the same thing. For
this particular binary I don't really care and if it's the approach
taken in other places, I'm ok using it.

Believe it or not, this is the only place that
program_invocation_short_name has ever been used in the kernel. There
have been numerous instances of:

#define _GNU_SOURCE /* for program_invocation_short_name */

but never any actual callers (that I could find in the git history)
other than this one.

I was expecting you'd take the acks and merge it all through a single
tree since you received push back on the need to build the kernel in
macOS. Is this the only thing missing and you'd want it to go through
drm?

I believe the other patches have been applied or dropped. When I last
tested building allmodconfig this was the only issue I ran into (macOS
arm64), so I asked Daniel for this resend.

fair enough. Pushed to drm-xe-next since nobody ever reads the
usage for this helper tool and it doesn't really matter if now it's ugly.
