From f02003c860d921171be4a27e2893766eb3bc6871 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 14 Sep 2021 12:49:03 -0700 Subject: hardening: Avoid harmless Clang option under CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO Currently under Clang, CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_ZERO requires an extra -enable flag compared to CC_HAS_AUTO_VAR_INIT_PATTERN. GCC 12[1] will not, and will happily ignore the Clang-specific flag. However, its presence on the command-line is both cumbersome and confusing. Due to GCC's tolerant behavior, though, we can continue to use a single Kconfig cc-option test for the feature on both compilers, but then drop the Clang-specific option in the Makefile. In other words, this patch does not change anything other than making the compiler command line shorter once GCC supports -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero.
