4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 68e76e034b6b1c1ce2eece1ab8ae4008e14be470 upstream. I regularly get 50 MB - 60 MB files during kernel randconfig builds. These large files mostly contain (many repeats of; e.g., 124,594): In file included from ../include/linux/string.h:6:0, from ../include/linux/uuid.h:20, from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:13, from ../scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:3: ../include/linux/compiler.h:64:4: warning: '______f' is static but declared in inline function 'strcpy' which is not static [enabled by default] ______f = { \ ^ ../include/linux/compiler.h:56:23: note: in expansion of macro '__trace_if' ^ ../include/linux/string.h:425:2: note: in expansion of macro 'if' if (p_size == (size_t)-1 && q_size == (size_t)-1) ^ This only happens when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES=y, so prevent PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES if FORTIFY_SOURCE=y.
