[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 2/7] powerpc/64s: Disable stack variable initialisation for prom_init

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

[ Upstream commit be640317a1d0b9cf42fedb2debc2887a7cfa38de ]

With GCC 12 allmodconfig prom_init fails to build:

  Error: External symbol 'memset' referenced from prom_init.c
  make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:204: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Error 1

The allmodconfig build enables KASAN, so all calls to memset in
prom_init should be converted to __memset by the #ifdefs in
asm/string.h, because prom_init must use the non-KASAN instrumented
versions.

The build failure happens because there's a call to memset that hasn't
been caught by the pre-processor and converted to __memset. Typically
that's because it's a memset generated by the compiler itself, and that
is the case here.

With GCC 12, allmodconfig enables CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN, which
causes the compiler to emit memset calls to initialise on-stack
variables with a pattern.

Because prom_init is non-user-facing boot-time only code, as a
workaround just disable stack variable initialisation to unbreak the
build.
