3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: George Spelvin <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 14262d67fe348018af368a07430fbc06eadeabb1 upstream. If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces: <stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120. There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)
