Unknown -mllvm options don't cause an error to be returned by clang, so
the cc-option helper adds the unknown hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1
flag to CFLAGS with compilers that are new enough for hwasan but too
old for this option. This causes a rather unreadable build failure:
fixdep: error opening file: scripts/mod/.empty.o.d: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [/home/arnd/arm-soc/scripts/Makefile.build:252: scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 2
fixdep: error opening file: scripts/mod/.devicetable-offsets.s.d: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [/home/arnd/arm-soc/scripts/Makefile.build:114: scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s] Error 2
Add a version check to only allow this option with clang-15, gcc-13
or later versions.

There is probably a better way to do this than to add version checks,
but I could not figure it out.

Hmmm, how did a change like commit 0e1aa5b62160 ("kcsan: Restrict
supported compilers") work if cc-option does not work with unknown
'-mllvm' flags (or did it)? That definitely seems like a problem, as I
see a few different places where '-mllvm' options are used with
cc-option. I guess I will leave that up to the sanitizer folks to
comment on that further, one small comment below.

I do not think you need to duplicate this block, I think
ifeq ($(call clang-min-version, 150000)$(call gcc-min-version, 130000),y)
CFLAGS_KASAN += $(call cc-param,hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1)
endif
would work, as only one of those conditions can be true at a time.

That one adds both "-fsanitize=thread" and "-mllvm
-tsan-distinguish-volatile=1". If the first one is missing in the
compiler, neither will be set. If only the second one fails, I assume
you'd get the same result I see with hwasan-kernel-mem-intrinsic-prefix=1.

Are you sure that clang-min-version evaluates to an empty string
rather than "n" or something else? I haven't found a documentation
that says anything about it other than it returning "y" if the condition
is true.

I did not look close enough but it turns out that this check is always
true for the versions of clang that the kernel currently supports, so it
could not fail even if '-mllvm' flag checking worked.
$ git grep tsan-distinguish-volatile llvmorg-11.0.0
llvmorg-11.0.0:llvm/lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/ThreadSanitizer.cpp: "tsan-distinguish-volatile", cl::init(false),
llvmorg-11.0.0:llvm/test/Instrumentation/ThreadSanitizer/volatile.ll:; RUN: opt < %s -tsan -tsan-distinguish-volatile -S | FileCheck %s
At the time of the Linux change though, we did not have a minimum
supported version, so that check was necessary. I wonder if LLVM
regressed with regards to '-mllvm' flag checking at some point...

Yes, see the test-ge and test-gt macros in scripts/Kbuild.include, they
will only ever print the empty string or 'y'.

Urgh, this one turns out to be rather ridiculous. It's only a problem
with hwasan...
If you try it for yourself, e.g. with something "normal" like:
> clang -Werror -mllvm -asan-does-not-exist -c -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null
It errors as expected. But with:
> clang -Werror -mllvm -hwasan-does-not-exist -c -x c /dev/null -o /dev/null
It ends up printing _help_ text, because anything "-h..." (if it
doesn't recognize it as a long-form argument), will make it produce
the help text.

We just need the clang version check. If the compiler is gcc, it'll do
the "right thing" (i.e. not print help text). So at a minimum, we need
if "clang version >= 15 or gcc". Checking if gcc is 13 or later
doesn't hurt though, so I don't mind either way.
So on a whole this patch is the right thing to do because fixing old
clang versions to not interpret unrecognized options that start with
"-h.." as help isn't something we can realistically do.

Ah, that explains a lot. I think I actually tried a few other options, but
probably only edited part of the option name, and not the beginning, so
I always saw the help text.

I've sent a v2 now, with an updated help text and the simplified
version check.
It might be possible to change the cc-option check in a way that
parses the output, this variant should do that, if we care:
echo "char *str = \"check that assembler works\";" | clang -Werror -mllvm -hwasan-does-not-exist -S -x c - -o - | grep -q "check that assembler works"
