cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning all invoke the compiler
during build time, and can slow down the build when these checks become
stale for our supported compilers, whose minimally supported versions
increases over time. See Documentation/process/changes.rst for the
current supported minimal versions (GCC 4.9+, clang 10.0.1+). Compiler
version support for these flags may be verified on godbolt.org.

The following flags are GCC only and supported since at least GCC 4.9.
Remove cc-option and cc-disable-warning tests.
* -fno-tree-loop-im
* -Wno-maybe-uninitialized
* -fno-reorder-blocks
* -fno-ipa-cp-clone
* -fno-partial-inlining
* -femit-struct-debug-baseonly
* -fno-inline-functions-called-once
* -fconserve-stack

The following flags are supported by all supported versions of GCC and
Clang. Remove their cc-option, cc-option-yn, and cc-disable-warning tests.
* -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks
* -fno-var-tracking
* -mfentry
* -Wno-array-bounds

The following configs are made dependent on GCC, since they use GCC
specific flags.
* READABLE_ASM
* DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH

--param=allow-store-data-races=0 was renamed to --allow-store-data-races
in the GCC 10 release.

Also, base RETPOLINE_CFLAGS and RETPOLINE_VDSO_CFLAGS on CONFIC_CC_IS_*
then remove cc-option tests for Clang.

Note: It may be preferred to move the test for
-fno-inline-functions-called-once for DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH into
Kconfig. That one does seem relatively more reasonable to implement in
Clang.

Fewer pointless calls to the compiler is always a good thing :)

Eliminating -Wno-maybe-uninitialized might warrant a comment in the
commit message as I was initially confused then I realized that it is
unconditionally added later.

Looks like this was generated against -next as it includes the rust
patchset. I was able to apply it to mainline without any complaints but
any follow ups should probably be based on Masahiro's tree.

Always nice to see cleanups due to raised versions!

Shouldn't `--allow-store-data-races` have been on its own patch, though?

Indeed.

Commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75
could have removed -Wno-maybe-initialized
from CFLAGS_GCOV as well, but somehow it has been
left over here...


Comments in the commit log, or perhaps
splitting this as 1/2 will be less confusing.

Can you insert a comment here?

# GCC 10 renamed --param=allow-store-data-races=0 to --allow-store-data-races


It will remind us of dropping this conditional
in the (long long distant) future.

This report is confusing:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/202108160729.Lx0IJzq3-lkp@intel.com/
(csky gcc-11)

>> csky-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized command-line option '--param=allow-store-data-races=0'; did you mean '--allow-store-data-races'?

I wonder if cc-option detection for these is broken?  Perhaps I should
not touch these other than to wrap them in the CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC guard?

(Either way, I need to send a v2 in response to Naresh's report as
well. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+G9fYtPBp_-Ko_P7NuOX6vN9-66rjJuBt21h3arrLqEaQQn6w@mail.gmail.com/
It seems that -mfentry wasn't implemented for s390-linux-gnu-gcc until
gcc-9; so rather than remove top level support, perhaps a comment
about gcc-9+ s390 having support will make grepping for it easier in
the future).

Thanks for the report. Andrew has dropped the patch from mm-next.
Looks like it's too soon to remove build configuration tests for
-mfentry.

So it looks like `-fallow-store-data-races` was also supported. Reading through
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97309
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Atomic/GCCMM/ExecutiveSummary
it seems that the default is not to allow "store data races." So I
should not be adding `--allow-store-data-races` or
`-fallow-store-data-races`; so this just should be the existing test,
with a comment that it can be removed once gcc-10+ is the minimum.
Will update that in v2.

Ah, perhaps I should combine the following line:
KBUILD_CFLAGS  += $(call
cc-option,-fallow-store-data-races,--param=allow-store-data-races=0)

Though I don't understand the csky failure. cc-option appends to a
running list of flags; if an unsupported flag gets added to CFLAGS, it
can cause cc-option to failure subsequent checks in spooky ways.  I
usually debug those by adding print statements to cc-option to see
what the full command it's testing; then invoke the compiler manually
with those to see what went wrong.  (bookmarked and referenced often:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16467718/how-to-print-out-a-variable-in-makefile)

Though my distro doesn't package csky-linux-gnu-gcc...

I have removed that patch from linux-next today as well.

I do not say it is broken...


cc-option is defined like this:

cc-option = $(call __cc-option, $(CC),\
        $(KBUILD_CPPFLAGS) $(KBUILD_CFLAGS),$(1),$(2))


It is checking
$(KBUILD_CPPFLAGS) + $(KBUILD_CFLAGS)
+ --allow-store-data-races


A few lines above, I see

csky-linux-gcc: error: unrecognized argument in option '-mcpu=ck860'


It makes all the cc-option tests fail after this line:
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -mcpu=$(CPUTYPE) -Wa,-mcpu=$(MCPU_STR)


Then,

$(call cc-option,--allow-store-data-races,--param=allow-store-data-races=0)

falls back to --param=allow-store-data-races=0

I do not think so.

If an unrecognized argument appears,
all the cc-option tests that follow are unreliable.



If you are not comfortable with  it,
you can split it.

KBUILD_CFLAGS  += $(call cc-option,--allow-store-data-races)
KBUILD_CFLAGS  += $(call cc-option,--param=allow-store-data-races=0)



Or, another way of implementation is

KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-ifversion, -lt, 1000,
--allow-store-data-races, --param=allow-store-data-races=0)

I read the patch in the wrong way.
This is the same as the current code.

So, your v2 is fine with me.
I will pick it up soon.
