Nathan Chancellor 6f49743af4 riscv: Require clang-17 or newer for kCFI
After the combination of commit c217157bcd ("riscv: Implement
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS"), which starts using
'-fpatchable-function-entry=M,N', and commit d0262e907e ("riscv:
ftrace: support PREEMPT"), which allows CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE to be
enabled by allmodconfig, allmodconfig builds with clang-16 begin
crashing in the generic LLVM kCFI pass (see [1] for the stack trace).

clang-17 avoids this crash by moving to target-specific lowering of the
kCFI operand bundles [2]. Require clang-17 to select CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to
avoid this crash.

Fixes: c217157bcd ("riscv: Implement HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS")

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 reStructuredText 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.
