From: Kees Cook Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2025 09:35:49 +0000 (-0700) Subject: kstack_erase: Add -mgeneral-regs-only to silence Clang warnings X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6676fd3c99b016b9102c584e8b6dfcfad4fa059e;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git kstack_erase: Add -mgeneral-regs-only to silence Clang warnings Once CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE is enabled with Clang on i386, the build warns: kernel/kstack_erase.c:168:2: warning: function with attribute 'no_caller_saved_registers' should only call a function with attribute 'no_caller_saved_registers' or be compiled with '-mgeneral-regs-only' [-Wexcessive-regsave] Add -mgeneral-regs-only for the kstack_erase handler, to make Clang feel better (it is effectively a no-op flag for the kernel). No binary changes encountered. Build & boot tested with Clang 21 on x86_64, and i386. Build tested with GCC 14.2.0 on x86_64, i386, arm64, and arm.
