kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-03T07:03:24+00:00

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

stackprotector: fix multi-word cross-builds

2009-02-11T11:17:29+00:00

Stackprotector builds were failing if CROSS_COMPILER was more than a single world (such as when distcc was used) - because the check scripts used $1 instead of $*. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

stackprotector: update make rules

2009-02-09T23:41:54+00:00

Impact: no default -fno-stack-protector if stackp is enabled, cleanup Stackprotector make rules had the following problems. * cc support test and warning are scattered across makefile and kernel/panic.c. * -fno-stack-protector was always added regardless of configuration. Update such that cc support test and warning are contained in makefile and -fno-stack-protector is added iff stackp is turned off. While at it, prepare for 32bit support.

[PATCH] Add the -fstack-protector option to the CFLAGS

2006-09-26T08:52:39+00:00

Add a feature check that checks that the gcc compiler has stack-protector support and has the bugfix for PR28281 to make this work in kernel mode. The easiest solution I could find was to have a shell script in scripts/ to do the detection; if needed we can make this fancier in the future without making the makefile too complex.
