Under certain conditions, the 64-bit '-mstack-protector-guard' flags may end up in the 32-bit vDSO flags, resulting in build failures due to the structure of clang's argument parsing of the stack protector options, which validates the arguments of the stack protector guard flags unconditionally in the frontend, choking on the 64-bit values when targeting 32-bit:
clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2 clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2 make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:85: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:87: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgetrandom-32.o] Error 1
Remove these flags by adding them to the CC32FLAGSREMOVE variable, which already handles situations similar to this. Additionally, reformat and align a comment better for the expanding CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG block.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.1+ Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org --- I say "Under certain conditions" because I am not entirely sure what they are. I cannot reproduce this error in my host environment but I can reproduce it in TuxMake's environment, which our CI uses:
https://storage.tuxsuite.com/public/clangbuiltlinux/continuous-integration2/...
$ tuxmake \ -a powerpc \ -k ppc64_guest_defconfig \ -r podman \ -t clang-nightly \ LLVM=1 \ config default ... clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2 clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2
I suspect that make 4.4 could play a difference here but the solution is quite simple here (since it is already weird with reusing flags) so I figured it was just worth doing this regardless of what the underlying reason is. --- arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
