Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the akpm-current tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm-current tree, today's linux-next build (x86-64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

scripts/Makefile.kasan:21: CONFIG_KASAN: compiler does not support all options. Trying minimal configuration
scripts/Makefile.kasan:21: CONFIG_KASAN: compiler does not support all options. Trying minimal configuration
x86_64-linux-gcc: warning: unrecognized argument to -fsanitize= option: 'kernel-address'

lots and lots of this last message ...

Caused by the commits that added the kernel address sanitizer.

gcc version 4.9.0 cross compiling from Powerpc64.

I have added the following patch for today (after which I only got one
of the "compiler does not support all options" messages).

Subject: [PATCH] kasan: fix build warnings

Some versions of gcc produce warning instead of error when
-fsanitize flag uses unsupported argument:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61065

This breaks our detection of whether -fsanitize=kernel-address
is supported by compiler or not. Thus we have tons of build
warnings like this:
x86_64-linux-gcc: warning: unrecognized argument to -fsanitize= option: 'kernel-address'

Passing -Werror into $(call cc-option) will fix this problem
as gcc will error out now.

Hi Andrew, this patch applies on top kasan patch set.
We can't just fix add-kernel-address-sanitizer-infrastructure.patch
as patch kasan-enable-instrumentation-of-global-variables.patch
depends on it.

Let me know if your prefer to update all needed patches instead
of this fix.

Or maybe it would be be better always use -Werror in cc-option?

Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: always use -Werror in 'call cc-option'

Some versions of gcc produce warning instead of error when
-fsanitize flag uses unsupported argument:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61065

This breaks our detection of whether -fsanitize=kernel-address
is supported by compiler or not. Thus we have tons of build
warnings like this:
x86_64-linux-gcc: warning: unrecognized argument to -fsanitize= option: 'kernel-address'

To workaround this compiler bug we could always use -Werror
with 'call cc-option' forcing gcc to produce error instead of
warnings.

Please don't do it. A couple of Makefiles call cc-option after we have
added the user-supplied KCFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
