Copied SRU justification from bug 1848922. ** Description changed:
+ [SRU Justification for backport-iwlwifi-dkms] + + [Impact] + FTBFS against v5.3 kernels on Eoan/Focal. + + [Fix] + * Backport fix from upstream commit f47729b94e11 (backport: rename ktime_get_boot_ns for v5.3+). + * Also updates -fcf-protection=none usage for bug + 1830961. + + [Test Case] + Verified DKMS module build on linux-oem/linux-oem-osp1/linux-generic >= 4.10 kernels on series Xenial/Bionic/Cosmic/Disco/Eoan and Focal. + + [Regression Risk] + Low. There is no functional changes in comparison to 7906-0ubuntu1. + + ======== original bug description ======== + Compiling kernels & kernel modules fails due to these errors: ./include/linux/compiler.h:193:1: error: ‘-mindirect-branch’ and ‘-fcf- protection’ are not compatible (This happens with any kernel modules.) This appears to be due to the changes in 9.1.0-3ubuntu1 enabling -fcf- protection by default on 19.10's gcc-9. Switching to gcc-8 allows compilation to proceed.
