commit3415b10a03upstream. After a recent change in clang to stop consuming all instances of '-S' and '-c' [1], the stack protector scripts break due to the kernel's use of -Werror=unused-command-line-argument to catch cases where flags are not being properly consumed by the compiler driver: $ echo | clang -o - -x c - -S -c -Werror=unused-command-line-argument clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-c' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument] This results in CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR getting disabled because CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR is no longer set. '-c' and '-S' both instruct the compiler to stop at different stages of the pipeline ('-S' after compiling, '-c' after assembling), so having them present together in the same command makes little sense. In this case, the test wants to stop before assembling because it is looking at the textual assembly output of the compiler for either '%fs' or '%gs', so remove '-c' from the list of arguments to resolve the error. All versions of GCC continue to work after this change, along with versions of clang that do or do not contain the change mentioned above.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
