From d92c66b30f9368e83aa85b30cc921e23ca0b28b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2018 15:27:19 +0900 Subject: x86/build: Fix compiler support check for CONFIG_RETPOLINE commit 25896d073d8a0403b07e6dec56f58e6c33678207 upstream. It is troublesome to add a diagnostic like this to the Makefile parse stage because the top-level Makefile could be parsed with a stale include/config/auto.conf. Once you are hit by the error about non-retpoline compiler, the compilation still breaks even after disabling CONFIG_RETPOLINE. The easiest fix is to move this check to the "archprepare" like this commit did: 829fe4aa9ac1 ("x86: Allow generating user-space headers without a compiler") Reported-by: Meelis Roos Tested-by: Meelis Roos Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Zhenzhong Duan Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Zhenzhong Duan Fixes: 4cd24de3a098 ("x86/retpoline: Make CONFIG_RETPOLINE depend on compiler support") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1543991239-18476-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/4/206 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Cc: Gi-Oh Kim Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- arch/x86/Makefile | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch') diff --git a/arch/x86/Makefile b/arch/x86/Makefile index 9298f0f3817a..b84f61bc5e7a 100644 --- a/arch/x86/Makefile +++ b/arch/x86/Makefile @@ -223,9 +223,6 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS += -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables # Avoid indirect branches in kernel to deal with Spectre ifdef CONFIG_RETPOLINE -ifeq ($(RETPOLINE_CFLAGS),) - $(error You are building kernel with non-retpoline compiler, please update your compiler.) -endif KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(RETPOLINE_CFLAGS) endif @@ -303,6 +300,13 @@ ifndef CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO @echo Compiler lacks asm-goto support. @exit 1 endif +ifdef CONFIG_RETPOLINE +ifeq ($(RETPOLINE_CFLAGS),) + @echo "You are building kernel with non-retpoline compiler." >&2 + @echo "Please update your compiler." >&2 + @false +endif +endif archclean: $(Q)rm -rf $(objtree)/arch/i386 -- cgit v1.2.3
