gcc-plugins: Remove TODO_verify_il for GCC >= 16

2025-09-23T20:59:39+00:00

GCC now runs TODO_verify_il automatically[1], so it is no longer exposed to plugins. Only use the flag on GCC < 16.

randstruct: gcc-plugin: Fix attribute addition

2025-06-01T15:41:11+00:00

Based on changes in the 2021 public version of the randstruct out-of-tree GCC plugin[1], more carefully update the attributes on resulting decls, to avoid tripping checks in GCC 15's comptypes_check_enum_int() when it has been configured with "--enable-checking=misc": arch/arm64/kernel/kexec_image.c:132:14: internal compiler error: in comptypes_check_enum_int, at c/c-typeck.cc:1519 132 | const struct kexec_file_ops kexec_image_ops = { | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ internal_error(char const*, ...), at gcc/gcc/diagnostic-global-context.cc:517 fancy_abort(char const*, int, char const*), at gcc/gcc/diagnostic.cc:1803 comptypes_check_enum_int(tree_node*, tree_node*, bool*), at gcc/gcc/c/c-typeck.cc:1519 ...

kbuild: require gcc-8 and binutils-2.30

2025-04-30T19:53:35+00:00

Commit a3e8fe814ad1 ("x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1") raised the minimum compiler version as enforced by Kbuild to gcc-8.1 and clang-15 for x86. This is actually the same gcc version that has been discussed as the minimum for all architectures several times in the past, with little objection. A previous concern was the kernel for SLE15-SP7 needing to be built with gcc-7. As this ended up still using linux-6.4 and there is no plan for an SP8, this is no longer a problem. Change it for all architectures and adjust the documentation accordingly. A few version checks can be removed in the process. The binutils version 2.30 is the lowest version used in combination with gcc-8 on common distros, so use that as the corresponding minimum.

gcc-plugins: Remove duplicate included header file stringpool.h

2024-07-08T19:20:32+00:00

The header file stringpool.h is included for GCC version >= 8 and then again for all versions. Since the header file stringpool.h was added in GCC 4.9 and the kernel currently requires GCC 5.1 as a minimum, remove the conditional include. Including the header file only once removes the following warning reported by make includecheck: stringpool.h is included more than once However, it's important to include stringpool.h before attribs.h because attribs.h uses some of its functions. Compile-tested with GCC 14. Signed-off-by: Thorsten Blum Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240629233608.278028-2-thorsten.blum@toblux.com Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

In GCC 14, last_stmt() was renamed to last_nondebug_stmt(). Add a helper macro to handle the renaming. Cc: linux-hardening@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

gcc-plugins: Reorganize gimple includes for GCC 13

The gimple-iterator.h header must be included before gimple-fold.h starting with GCC 13. Reorganize gimple headers to work for all GCC versions.
