From d104a6fef3fec137d8d44961224ab76edbd6cbc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 14:30:55 +0100 Subject: arm64: scs: Disable LTO for SCS patching code Full LTO takes the '-mbranch-protection=none' passed to the compiler when generating the dynamic shadow call stack patching code as a hint to stop emitting PAC instructions altogether. (Thin LTO appears unaffected by this) Work around this by disabling LTO for the compilation unit, which appears to convince the linker that it should still use PAC in the rest of the kernel..
