[PATCH] kasan: Makefile: shut up warnings if CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y

[Andrey Ryabinin]

It might be annoying to constantly see this:

	scripts/Makefile.kasan:16: Cannot use CONFIG_KASAN: -fsanitize=kernel-address is not supported by compiler

while performing allmodconfig/allyesconfig build tests.
Disable this warning if CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y.

That warning might be seen - once per build - because allmodconfig and
allyesconfig enable both CONFIG_KASAN and CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, right?

> Disable this warning if CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y.

Do we expect that some people want to enable both KASAN and COMPILE_TEST
manually (ie, not as a result of allmodconfig or allyesconfig)? If so,
those people might now be in for some head-scratching if their compiler
lacks what's apparently needed to run kasan.

(Side note: in this case the compiler supports that minimal
configuration, doesn't it? So shouldn't the second warning end in
                Running with minimal configuration)

or something to that effect?)

It might be seen once per build because all*config enables CONFIG_KASAN.
There was no dependency on CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST before this patch.

I think this shouldn't be a problem.
CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST used for building drivers that cannot be loaded on
platform used for compiling these drivers.
So it's unlikely that such kernel will be used for runtime testing.

It should and it does.
CFLAGS_KASAN reassigned to minimal set of options below.

Yes, of course.

It would be nice if there would at least be a comment explaining what's
being done here (ie, assuming that if CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST equals 'y'
we're doing a allmodconfig or an allyesconfig and that people using
either of those make targets don't care whether their compiler supports
kasan). Because I'd be surprised if people figure that out by looking at
this Makefile.

Which makes "Trying" ambiguous, but anyway, it's just a side note.
