Thanks, Stephen. I managed to reproduce this by merging for-next/kspp from
Kees's tree and for-next/core from the arm64 tree. The failure happens when
building the EFI stub, so the commit you mention above is almost certainly
the culprit.
We build the stub with the following GCC invocation:
gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/.efi-stub-helper.o.d -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/include -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/x86/include/uapi -I./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -include ./include/linux/compiler_types.h -D__KERNEL__ -mcmodel=small -m64 -D__KERNEL__ -O2 -fPIC -fno-strict-aliasing -mno-red-zone -mno-mmx -mno-sse -fshort-wchar -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING -D__NO_FORTIFY -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector -fplugin-arg-stackleak_plugin-disable -fno-builtin -DKBUILD_BASENAME='"efi_stub_helper"' -DKBUILD_MODNAME='"efi_stub_helper"' -c -o drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/.tmp_efi-stub-helper.o drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub-helper.c
so given that we're not passing any -fplugin= option anyway (because we
override KBUILD_CFLAGS for the stub), I don't understand why we need
to the disable option at all.
Laura?
