Hi, I think this patch needs to be merged to linux-stable 4.14.y branch. Following is what I did to reproduce the problem. The problem is gone after applying the patch. 1. I created and installed a headers package as following. make -j7 deb-pkg cd .. sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.14.89+_4.14.89+-18_amd64.deb 2. I managed to re-produce the same problem as following. gohkim@ws00837:~/study/drv$ make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.89+/ kernelrelease make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.89+' arch/x86/Makefile:245: *** You are building kernel with non-retpoline compiler, please update your compiler.. Stop. make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.89+' 3. Weird thing is that it works fine if I use sudo command. gohkim@ws00837:~/study/drv$ sudo make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.89+/ kernelrelease make: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.89+' HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig 4.14.89 make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.89+' -- GIOH KIM Linux Kernel Entwickler 1&1 IONOS Cloud GmbH Greifswalder Str. 207 D - 10405 Berlin Tel: +49 176 2697 8962 Fax: +49 30 577 008 299 Email: [email protected] URL: https://www.ionos.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 125506 B Geschäftsführer: Achim Weiss, Matthias Steinberg, Christoph Steffens
