[PATCH 4.19 and 5.1] arm64: Don't unconditionally add -Wno-psabi to KBUILD_CFLAGS - Linux-stable-mirror

25 Jun 2019

commit fa63da2ab046b885a7f70291aafc4e8ce015429b upstream.
This is a GCC only option, which warns about ABI changes within GCC, so
unconditionally adding it breaks Clang with tons of:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
and link time failures:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __efistub___stack_chk_guard
...
...
...
referenced by arm-stub.c:73
(/home/nathan/cbl/linux/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.c:73)
...
...
...
          arm-stub.stub.o:(__efistub_install_memreserve_table)

in archive ./drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a
These failures come from the lack of -fno-stack-protector, which is
added via cc-option in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile. When an
unknown flag is added to KBUILD_CFLAGS, clang will noisily warn that it
is ignoring the option like above, unlike gcc, who will just error.
$ echo "int main() { return 0; }" > tmp.c
$ clang -Wno-psabi tmp.c; echo $?
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
1 warning generated.
0
$ gcc -Wsometimes-uninitialized tmp.c; echo $?
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option
‘-Wsometimes-uninitialized’; did you mean ‘-Wmaybe-uninitialized’?
1
For cc-option to work properly with clang and behave like gcc, -Werror
is needed, which was done in commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux:
Add -Werror to cc-option to support clang").
$ clang -Werror -Wno-psabi tmp.c; echo $?
error: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi'
[-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
1
As a consequence of this, when an unknown flag is unconditionally added
to KBUILD_CFLAGS, it will cause cc-option to always fail and those flags
will never get added:
$ clang -Werror -Wno-psabi -fno-stack-protector tmp.c; echo $?
error: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi'
[-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
1
This can be seen when compiling the whole kernel as some warnings that
are normally disabled (see below) show up. The full list of flags
missing from drivers/firmware/efi/libstub are the following (gathered
from diffing .arm64-stub.o.cmd):
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks
-Wno-address-of-packed-member
-Wframe-larger-than=2048
-Wno-unused-const-variable
-fno-strict-overflow
-fno-merge-all-constants
-fno-stack-check
-Werror=date-time
-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types
-ffreestanding
-fno-stack-protector
Use cc-disable-warning so that it gets disabled for GCC and does nothing
for Clang.

Hi Greg and Sasha,
Please apply this to 4.19 and 5.1, as the Fixes commit breaks clang on arm64.

Sorry for not catching the review email with the patch that this fixes,
I had hoped that the fixes tag would be enough since the other patch
wasn't marked for stable.
