Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.
No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.
GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)
Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.
Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which should always be 'y'.
Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

-fstack-protector
-fstack-protector-strong
-fstack-protector-all
are supported.
But,
-fno-stack-protector-strong
-fno-stack-protector-all
are unsupported.
Perheps, -fno-stack-protector is enough
to disable all variants of stack-protector.

That is from ancient times, IIRC. -fno-stack-protector should be
sufficient.

Generally looks pretty good, just a few more questions before adding
my tag explicitly.

So it looks like the previous behavior always added
`-fno-stack-protector` (since CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE was
always true), but then we append either `-fstack-protector` or
`-fstack-protector-strong` based on configs. While that's ok, and you
patch doesn't change that behavior, and it's good to be explicit to
set the stack protector or not...it seems weird to have
`-fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector` in the command line flags. I
would prefer if we checked for not having CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR or
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG before adding `-fno-stack-protector`.
That doesn't have to be done in this patch, per se.

Any time I see `:=` assignment to a CFLAGS variable, it's a red flag
for overwriting existing CFLAGS, which is a common source of bugs. I
recognize the kernel is current a mix and match for:
CFLAGS_<file>.o
rules to either use `+=` or `:=`, but I wish we were consistent, and
consistent in our use of `+=`. For those rules, is there a difference
between the use of `+=` and `:=` like there is for the more general
case of appending to KBUILD_CFLAGS? If not, it's ok to match the
existing style, but it's curious to me in this patch to see a mixed
use of `+=` and `:=`.

No, it would add only what was latest and most selected. (They're all
":=" assignments.) If CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG, only
-fstack-protector-strong is set. If only CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR, only
-fstack-protector is set. Otherwise -fno-stack-protector.

Ah, right. Thanks for pointing that out. I'm still curious if the
CFLAGS_<file>.o rules get appended or overwrite all flags for that
translation unit?

CFLAGS_file.o gets appended to the CFLAGS. For example, after my updated
patch[1], the command line for syscall_64.o looks like this:
gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/x86/entry/.syscall_64.o.d -nostdinc -isystem \
...
-Wframe-larger-than=2048 -fstack-protector-strong \
...
-fno-stack-protector -Wno-override-init \
-DKBUILD_MODFILE='"arch/x86/entry/syscall_64"' \
-DKBUILD_BASENAME='"syscall_64"' \
-DKBUILD_MODNAME='"syscall_64"' \
-c -o arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.o \
arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c

I think Kees mostly answered your question.
Let me add some comments.
'+=' is the most used in kernel Makefiles, but
':=' and '=' are also used.
So, you are right, we are inconsistent.
This applies to not only CFLAGS_<file>.o, but also obj-y, etc.
For example,
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.7/arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile#L15
'obj-y :=' works since it is the first assignment to obj-y in that file.
'obj-y +=' also works, of course.
We can consistently use '+=' everywhere, but I do not send
patches for churn.
You can use any assignment operator to CFLAGS_<file>.o
if it is the first assignment in the Makefile.
Using '+=' is robust for future code insertion/removal, though.
If the right-hand side contains variable references,
there is important difference in the behavior.
You may know two flavors in variables
(https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Flavors)
CFLAGS_foo.o := $(call cc-option,-fno-stack-protector)
The cc-option is expanded immediately when this line is parsed.
(So, the compiler is invoked for 'make clean' too)
CFLAGS_foo.o += $(call cc-option,-fno-stack-protector)
If this is the first assignment in the file,
'+=' act as '=', so the evaluation of cc-option
is delayed until $(CFLAGS_foo.o) is expanded.
(So, the compiler is NOT invoked for 'make clean')

Cool, thanks for all the info. With that, I'm happy with this patch.

Ah, I think that may explain: I've been seeing the occasional warning
from $(NM) when running `make clean` for ARCH=arm, I'll bet that's
where this is coming from then. Next time I reproduce it, I'll try to
find maybe where we're using `:=` or `=` with `$(NM)`.
Maybe arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile, KBSS_SZ is evaluated for
`make clean`? (If you start an arm build, but kill it before vmlinux
is created, then `make clean` I suspect that KBSS_SZ is evaluated?)

$ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make LLVM=1 -j71
$ rm vmlinux
$ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make LLVM=1 -j71 clean
llvm-nm: error: arch/arm/boot/compressed/../../../../vmlinux: No such
file or directory.
I suspect I see this from doing an ARCH=arm build, then building a
different ARCH and killing the build before vmlinux is produced or
`make clean` for a different ARCH, then run a `make clean` for
ARCH=arm.
Is the above (regarding lazy evaluation) not true for LDFLAGS_vmlinux?
I would have thought this would work:

yeah, I had noticed this noise, but
I did not get around to digging into it.

No, this does not work.
LDFLAGS_vmlinux is assigned by '=',
so it already has the lazy expansion flavor.
Unexporting LDFLAGS_vmlinux will fix it.
(I may write a better patch, though)

Is it possible that this patch drops the KCSAN portion? We have a patch
that is part of a series intended for 5.9 that also removes the
cc-option from -fno-stack-protector, but can't easily be dropped from
the surrounding series.
