Subject: [PATCH] hardening: Disable GCC randstruct for COMPILE_TEST
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2025 08:11:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250409151154.work.872-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
There is a GCC crash bug in the randstruct for latest GCC versions that
is being tickled by landlock[1]. Temporarily disable GCC randstruct for
COMPILE_TEST builds to unbreak CI systems for the coming -rc2. This can
be restored once the bug is fixed.
