[PATCH 3.14 83/83] x86-64, build: Fix stack protector Makefile breakage with 32-bit userland

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sun May 11 2014 - 15:34:15 EST


3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: George Spelvin <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 14262d67fe348018af368a07430fbc06eadeabb1 upstream.

If you are using a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, then
scripts/gcc-x86_64-has-stack-protector.sh invokes 32-bit gcc
with -mcmodel=kernel, which produces:

<stdin>:1:0: error: code model 'kernel' not supported in the 32 bit mode

and trips the "broken compiler" test at arch/x86/Makefile:120.

There are several places a fix is possible, but the following seems
cleanest. (But it's minimal; it would also be possible to factor
out a bunch of stuff from the two branches of the if.)
