Could we please split this into three patches, addressing: * arm64 * efistub * kasan ... since those have distinct maintainers. All those patches can be part of this series, but having them as separate patches is a bit nicer for review. > 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile > +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile > @@ -7,9 +7,9 @@ CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds := -DTEXT_OFFSET=$( > AFLAGS_head.o := -DTEXT_OFFSET=$(TEXT_OFFSET) > CFLAGS_armv8_deprecated.o := -I$(src) > > -CFLAGS_REMOVE_ftrace.o = -pg > -CFLAGS_REMOVE_insn.o = -pg > -CFLAGS_REMOVE_return_address.o = -pg > +CFLAGS_REMOVE_ftrace.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) > +CFLAGS_REMOVE_insn.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) > +CFLAGS_REMOVE_return_address.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) > > # Object file lists. > obj-y := debug-monitors.o entry.o irq.o fpsimd.o \ > --- a/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile > +++ b/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile > @@ -16,7 +16,8 @@ cflags-$(CONFIG_X86) += -m$(BITS) -D__K > > # arm64 uses the full KBUILD_CFLAGS so it's necessary to explicitly > # disable the stackleak plugin > -cflags-$(CONFIG_ARM64) := $(subst -pg,,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) -fpie \ > +cflags-$(CONFIG_ARM64) := $(filter-out $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)\ > + ,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) -fpie \ > $(DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN) Why do we need to swtich to using filter-out. AFAICT, subst works just fine. To keepthis legible, it would be nicer to split it like: cflags-$(CONFIG_ARM64) := $(subst $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE),,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) \ -fpie $(DISABLE_STACKLEAK_PLUGIN) > cflags-$(CONFIG_ARM) := $(subst -pg,,$(KBUILD_CFLAGS)) \ > -fno-builtin -fpic \ Please clean up this instance too, at least for consistency. Thanks, Mark.
