From: Heiko Carstens <hca@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 938f0c35d7d93a822ab9c9728e3205e8e57409d0 upstream. Nathan Chancellor reported a kernel build error on Fedora 39: $ clang --version | head -1 clang version 16.0.5 (Fedora 16.0.5-1.fc39) $ s390x-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -1 GNU ld version 2.40-1.fc39 $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=s390 CC=clang CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- olddefconfig all s390x-linux-gnu-ld: arch/s390/boot/startup.o(.text+0x5b4): misaligned symbol `_decompressor_end' (0x35b0f) for relocation R_390_PC32DBL make[3]: *** [.../arch/s390/boot/Makefile:78: arch/s390/boot/vmlinux] Error 1 It turned out that the problem with misaligned symbols on s390 was fixed with commit 80ddf5ce1c92 ("s390: always build relocatable kernel") for the kernel image, but did not take into account that the decompressor uses its own set of CFLAGS, which come without -fPIE. Add the -fPIE flag also to the decompresser CFLAGS to fix this.
