From 29be86d7f9cb18df4123f309ac7857570513e8bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seth Forshee Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2019 11:06:26 -0500 Subject: kbuild: add -fcf-protection=none when using retpoline flags The gcc -fcf-protection=branch option is not compatible with -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern. The latter is used when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is selected, and this will fail to build with a gcc which has -fcf-protection=branch enabled by default. Adding -fcf-protection=none when building with retpoline enabled prevents such build failures.
