Subject: [PATCH v3] kconfig.h: Include compiler types to avoid missed struct
 attributes
Message-ID: <20180222174140.GA3154@beast>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The header files for some structures could get included in such a way
that struct attributes (specifically __randomize_layout from path.h) would
be parsed as variable names instead of attributes. This could lead to
some instances of a structure being unrandomized, causing nasty GPFs, etc.

This patch makes sure the compiler_types.h header is included in
kconfig.h so that we've always got types and struct attributes defined,
since kconfig.h is included from the compiler command line.

Updated to include Tested-by. Linus, this looks ready to go. I'll send
-stable patches that just fix up path.h.
