Subject: [PATCH 03/14] security/Kconfig.hardening: Remove tautological condition from FORTIFY_SOURCE
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 22:59:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428-bump-minimum-supported-llvm-version-to-17-v1-3-81d9b2e8ee75@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 '!X86_32 || !Clang || Clang > 16'
dependency of CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE is always true, so it can be
removed.
