Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/Kconfig: Only allow CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT with ld.lld >= 14.0.0
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2022 16:07:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220318230747.3900772-3-nathan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220318230747.3900772-1-nathan@kernel.org>
With CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=y and a version of ld.lld prior to 14.0.0,
there are numerous objtool warnings along the lines of:
warning: objtool: .plt+0x6: indirect jump found in RETPOLINE build
This is a known issue that has been resolved in ld.lld 14.0.0. Prevent
CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT from being selectable when using one of these
problematic ld.lld versions.
