Hi Stephen, Was the second Kbuild in the subject line supposed to be Kconfig?

Is that a clang configuration option or an out of tree patch?

This leads kbuild to try and Prior to 589834b3a009, how did cc-option work at all if -Wunknown-warning-option wasn't enabled by default? I assume that clang would just eat any unknown flags while returning zero so it looked like the flag was supported? > test for the existence of the -Wmaybe-uninitialized flag with the > cc-option command in scripts/Kconfig.include, and it doesn't see an > error returned from the option test so it sets the config value to Y. It might be worth explicitly saying somewhere in here that clang will not error on unknown flags without -Werror + -Wunknown-warning-option. > Then the makefile tries to pass the unknown option on the command line > and -Werror=unknown-warning-option catches the invalid option and breaks > the build. > > Note: this doesn't change the cc-option tests in Makefiles, because > those use a different rule that includes KBUILD_CFLAGS by default, and > the KBUILD_CFLAGS already has -Werror=unknown-warning-option.

Overall, seems okay to me (took me a sec to understand the bug, certainly a very specific one). It might make sense to explicitly add somewhere in the commit message that this syncs cc-option behavior between Kconfig and Kbuild as a whole, as I didn't understand that at first. Thanks for the triage and sorry for the breakage! Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx>
