CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG
Hi All, My Kernel is built with the following options: CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y We use out-of-tree kernel modules in our project and I need to measure the performance of it by using a bit older gcc version 4.8.5. I can build the modules with gcc above 5 version, but when I try to use gcc version 4.8.5 I’m getting the following error: Makefile:693: Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler So it looks like gcc 4.8.5 does not support CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG option, but how to instruct gcc to ignore this one? In runtime, is it possible to instruct kernel to ignore “CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y” (without building the kernel) by using sysctl or any other method? Any help is appreciated. -- Thanks, Sekhar

Just disable it in your .config file
Any help is appreciated.

I disabled in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/.config, but still get that error. Does kernel needs to be recompiled? CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
Any help is appreciated.

You have to disable it in your kernel source directory and then run ‘make oldconfig’
Any help is appreciated.

I got this error while building out of tree module in Ubuntu system. I'm directly using the Ubuntu distribution kernel , so where should I suppose to run the 'make old config'? Because I didn't have the kernel source code.
Any help is appreciated.

You are really on your own here, sorry. Please use a modern version of gcc, and then go complain to the vendor that forces you to use out-of-tree kernel modules, as they are the only ones that can support you with them :( Best of luck! greg k-h
