Hi,
For me, kernels built including this commit
b059f801a937 (x86/purgatory: Use CFLAGS_REMOVE rather than reset KBUILD_CFLAGS)
results in kexec() failing to load the kernel:
kexec: Undefined symbol: __stack_chk_fail
kexec-bzImage64: Loading purgatory failed
Can be seen:
$ readelf -a arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.ro | grep UND
0: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND
51: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND __stack_chk_fail
Using: gcc version 7.4.0 (Ubuntu 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1)
Adding -ffreestanding or -fno-stack-protector to ccflags-y in
arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile
fixes the problem. Not sure which would be preferred.

Hi,
Do you have a kernel .config file that causes this?
I can't seem to reproduce it.
Thanks.

Does it go away with this fix in x86/urgent:
ca14c996afe7: ("x86/purgatory: Disable the stackleak GCC plugin for the purgatory")
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86/urgent
?
Thanks,
Ingo

Ubuntu's gcc has -fstack-protector enabled by default, so this happens
if one doesn't pass -fno-stack-protector (which I guess is implied by
-ffreestanding) explicitly.

Probably -fno-stack-protector, guarded by
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE (because not all gccs understand
-fno-stack-protector), so
ifdef CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE
ccflags-y += -fno-stack-protector
endif

Great, so all known kexec bugs should be fixed for now in Linus's latest
kernel, right?
Thanks,

This one was fixed by [1] e16c2983fba0f ("x86/purgatory: Change compiler
flags from -mcmodel=kernel to -mcmodel=large to fix kexec relocation
errors") from Steve Wahl, which in addition to changing mcmodel also
added back -ffreestanding (and -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss). It was
merged on the 12th. The stackleak one is a different undefined symbol
error.
