I thought of this scenario: [1] Kernel is configured with CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO [2] Kernel is built with a compiler without stack protector support. [3] CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not defined, so __stack_chk_fail() is not compiled. [4] Out-of-tree modules are compiled with a compiler with stack protector support. __stack_chk_fail() is inserted to functions of the modules. [5] insmod fails because reference to __stack_chk_fail() can not be resolved. I think "select CC_STACKPROTECTOR" should be kept in Kconfig.

We don't ever support the system of loading a module built with anything other than the _exact_ same compiler than the kernel was. So this will not happen (well, if someone tries it, they get to keep the pieces their kernel image is now in...) > [5] insmod fails because reference to __stack_chk_fail() > can not be resolved. Even nicer, we failed "cleanly" :) This isn't a real-world issue, sorry. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Various portions of the kernel, especially per-architecture pieces, need to know if the compiler is building it with the stack protector. This was done in the arch/Kconfig with 'select', but this doesn't allow a way to do auto-detected compiler support. In preparation for creating an on-if-available default, move the logic for the definition of CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR into the Makefile.
