Some versions of gcc produce warning instead of error when -fsanitize flag uses unsupported argument: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61065 This breaks our detection of whether -fsanitize=kernel-address is supported by compiler or not. Thus we have tons of build warnings like this: x86_64-linux-gcc: warning: unrecognized argument to -fsanitize= option: 'kernel-address' Passing -Werror into $(call cc-option) will fix this problem as gcc will error out now. Signed-off-by: Andrey Ryabinin <a.ryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Andrew, this patch applies on top kasan patch set. We can't just fix add-kernel-address-sanitizer-infrastructure.patch as patch kasan-enable-instrumentation-of-global-variables.patch depends on it. Let me know if your prefer to update all needed patches instead of this fix. scripts/Makefile.kasan | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.kasan b/scripts/Makefile.kasan index df302f8..72a40bb 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.kasan +++ b/scripts/Makefile.kasan @@ -5,15 +5,14 @@ else call_threshold := 0 endif -CFLAGS_KASAN_MINIMAL := $(call cc-option, -fsanitize=kernel-address \ - --param asan-globals=1) +CFLAGS_KASAN_MINIMAL := -fsanitize=kernel-address --param asan-globals=1 CFLAGS_KASAN := $(call cc-option, -fsanitize=kernel-address \ -fasan-shadow-offset=$(CONFIG_KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET) \ --param asan-stack=1 --param asan-globals=1 \ --param asan-instrumentation-with-call-threshold=$(call_threshold)) -ifeq ($(CFLAGS_KASAN_MINIMAL),) +ifeq ($(call cc-option, $(CFLAGS_KASAN_MINIMAL) -Werror),) $(warning Cannot use CONFIG_KASAN: \ -fsanitize=kernel-address is not supported by compiler) else -- 2.2.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
