      kbuild: disable clang's default use of -fmerge-all-constants · 3e113097

      commit 87e0d4f0 upstream.
      
      Prasad reported that he has seen crashes in BPF subsystem with netd
      on Android with arm64 in the form of (note, the taint is unrelated):

      Android's netd was basically pinning the uid cookie BPF map in BPF
      fs (/sys/fs/bpf/traffic_cookie_uid_map) and later on retrieving it
      again resulting in above panic. Issue is that the map was wrongly
      identified as a prog! Above kernel was compiled with clang 4.0,
      and it turns out that clang decided to merge the bpf_prog_iops and
      bpf_map_iops into a single memory location, such that the two i_ops
      could then not be distinguished anymore.
      
      Reason for this miscompilation is that clang has the more aggressive
      -fmerge-all-constants enabled by default. In fact, clang source code
      has a comment about it in lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp on why it is okay
      to do so:
      
        Pointers with different bases cannot represent the same object.
        (Note that clang defaults to -fmerge-all-constants, which can
        lead to inconsistent results for comparisons involving the address
        of a constant; this generally doesn't matter in practice.)
      
      The issue never appeared with gcc however, since gcc does not enable
      -fmerge-all-constants by default and even *explicitly* states in
      it's option description that using this flag results in non-conforming
      behavior, quote from man gcc:
      
        Languages like C or C++ require each variable, including multiple
        instances of the same variable in recursive calls, to have distinct
        locations, so using this option results in non-conforming behavior.
      
      There are also various clang bug reports open on that matter [1],
      where clang developers acknowledge the non-conforming behavior,
      and refer to disabling it with -fno-merge-all-constants. But even
      if this gets fixed in clang today, there are already users out there
      that triggered this. Thus, fix this issue by explicitly adding
      -fno-merge-all-constants to the kernel's Makefile to generically
      disable this optimization, since potentially other places in the
      kernel could subtly break as well.
      
      Note, there is also a flag called -fmerge-constants (not supported
      by clang), which is more conservative and only applies to strings
      and it's enabled in gcc's -O/-O2/-O3/-Os optimization levels. In
      gcc's code, the two flags -fmerge-{all-,}constants share the same
      variable internally, so when disabling it via -fno-merge-all-constants,
      then we really don't merge any const data (e.g. strings), and text
      size increases with gcc (14,927,214 -> 14,942,646 for vmlinux.o).
      
        $ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 foo.c -S -o foo.S
          -> foo.S lists -fmerge-constants under options enabled
        $ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 -fno-merge-all-constants foo.c -S -o foo.S
          -> foo.S doesn't list -fmerge-constants under options enabled
        $ gcc -fverbose-asm -O2 -fno-merge-all-constants -fmerge-constants foo.c -S -o foo.S
          -> foo.S lists -fmerge-constants under options enabled
      
      Thus, as a workaround we need to set both -fno-merge-all-constants
      *and* -fmerge-constants in the Makefile in order for text size to
      stay as is.
