A few build issues that I see when building next-20250725, which seem related to this series. 1. I see ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __sanitizer_cov_stack_depth >>> referenced by atags_to_fdt.c >>> arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.o:(atags_to_fdt) make[5]: *** [arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile:152: arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 1 when building ARCH=arm allmodconfig on next-20250725. The following diff appears to cure that one. diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile index f9075edfd773..f6142946b162 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile @@ -9,7 +9,6 @@ OBJS = HEAD = head.o OBJS += misc.o decompress.o -CFLAGS_decompress.o += $(DISABLE_KSTACK_ERASE) ifeq ($(CONFIG_DEBUG_UNCOMPRESS),y) OBJS += debug.o AFLAGS_head.o += -DDEBUG @@ -96,7 +95,7 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS += -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING ccflags-y := -fpic $(call cc-option,-mno-single-pic-base,) -fno-builtin \ -I$(srctree)/scripts/dtc/libfdt -fno-stack-protector \ - -I$(obj) + -I$(obj) $(DISABLE_KSTACK_ERASE) ccflags-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) += -pg asflags-y := -DZIMAGE -- 2.
