The quilt patch titled Subject: selftests: exec: make binaries position independent has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was selftests-exec-make-binaries-position-independent.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Muhammad Usama Anjum <usama.anjum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: selftests: exec: make binaries position independent Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2024 20:28:29 +0500 The -static overrides the -pie and binaries aren't position independent anymore. Use -static-pie instead which would produce a static and position independent binary. This has been caught by clang's warnings: clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pie' [-Wunused-command-line-argument] Tested with both gcc and clang after this change.
