Commit Message

Arnout Vandecappelle Nov. 17, 2019, 6:41 p.m. UTC
On x86_64, we use the host compiler instead of the target compiler to
build kvm-unit-tests, because it is built with -m32 and our target
compiler doesn't support that.

However, the compiler on Arch Linux is broken: it *always* builds with
-fstack-protector, even when -ffreestanding is passed. However, when
-fnostdlib is passed at link time (which is normally the case when
building with -ffreestanding), it is not linked with the stack-protector
library. This leads to a link time error:

/usr/bin/ld: x86/realmode.o: in function `print_serial_u32':
.../x86/realmode.c:104: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail'

Since the entire package is built with -ffreestanding, it doesn't
support stack-protector at all. Therefore, simply pass
-fno-stack-protector explicitly on x86_64 to work around the bug in Arch
Linux.

Commit c0ffd16e4 tried to do this, but got the condition wrong:
-fno-stack-protector was passed in all cases *except* for x86_64. This
commit fixes that, by inverting the condition and moving the
--cross-prefix part to the else branch.

Fixes: (no new autobuild failures yet)

Oops, I'm pretty sure I tested this with that condition set
incorrectly.  I wonder if we have something else going on that masked
the problem because of commit c0ffd16e4  addition of
"$(KVM_UNIT_TESTS_MAKE_OPTS)" to the build/install cmds.

Disregard that statement above about build/install cmds, I did a build
test and it still fails with current master.

I've applied this patch and my Arch Linux build passes.
