Subject: [PATCH 04/14] security/Kconfig.hardening: Remove tautological condition from CC_HAS_RANDSTRUCT
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 22:59:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v1-4-81d9b2e8ee75@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v1-0-81d9b2e8ee75@kernel.org>
Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel
has been raised to 17.0.1, the '!Clang || Clang >= 16' dependency for
CONFIG_CC_HAS_RANDSTRUCT is always true, so it can be removed.
