Commitb33fff07e3("x86, build: allow LTO to be selected") added a couple of '-plugin-opt=' flags to KBUILD_LDFLAGS because the code model and stack alignment are not stored in LLVM bitcode. However, these flags were added to KBUILD_LDFLAGS prior to the emulation flag assignment, which uses ':=', so they were overwritten and never added to $(LD) invocations. The absence of these flags caused misalignment issues in the AMDGPU driver when compiling with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, resulting in general protection faults. Shuffle the assignment below the initial one so that the flags are properly passed along and all of the linker flags stay together. At the same time, avoid any future issues with clobbering flags by changing the emulation flag assignment to '+=' since KBUILD_LDFLAGS is already defined with ':=' in the main Makefile before being exported for modification here as a result of commit:ce99d0bf31("kbuild: clear LDFLAGS in the top Makefile") Fixes:b33fff07e3("x86, build: allow LTO to be selected") Reported-by: Anthony Ruhier <aruhier@mailbox.org> Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Tested-by: Anthony Ruhier <aruhier@mailbox.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1374 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210518190106.60935-1-nathan@kernel.org
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
