Hi Michal, Today's linux-next merge of the kbuild tree got a conflict in: arch/Kconfig between commit: 0f60a8efe400 ("mm: Implement stack frame object validation") from Linus' tree and commits: a5967db9af51 ("kbuild: allow architectures to use thin archives instead of ld -r") b67067f1176d ("kbuild: allow archs to select link dead code/data elimination") from the kbuild tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc arch/Kconfig index fd6e9712af81,3f948c422d9d..000000000000 --- a/arch/Kconfig +++ b/arch/Kconfig @@@ -450,15 -461,25 +450,34 @@@ config CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRON endchoice +config HAVE_ARCH_WITHIN_STACK_FRAMES + bool + help + An architecture should select this if it can walk the kernel stack + frames to determine if an object is part of either the arguments + or local variables (i.e. that it excludes saved return addresses, + and similar) by implementing an inline arch_within_stack_frames(), + which is used by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY. + + config THIN_ARCHIVES + bool + help + Select this if the architecture wants to use thin archives + instead of ld -r to create the built-in.o files. + + config LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION + bool + help + Select this if the architecture wants to do dead code and + data elimination with the linker by compiling with + -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections and linking with + --gc-sections. + + This requires that the arch annotates or otherwise protects + its external entry points from being discarded.
