kbuild: add dummy toolchains to enable all cc-option etc. in Kconfig
Staring v4.18, Kconfig evaluates compiler capabilities, and hides CONFIG options your compiler does not support. This works well if you configure and build the kernel on the same host machine. It is inconvenient if you prepare the .config that is carried to a different build environment (typically this happens when you package the kernel for distros) because using a different compiler potentially produces different CONFIG options than the real build environment. So, you probably want to make as many options visible as possible. In other words, you need to create a super-set of CONFIG options that cover any build environment. If some of the CONFIG options turned out to be unsupported on the build machine, they are automatically disabled by the nature of Kconfig. However, it is not feasible to get a full-featured compiler for every arch. This issue was discussed here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/9/620 Other than distros, savedefconfig is also a problem. Some arch sub-systems periodically resync defconfig files. If you use a less-capable compiler for savedefconfig, options that do not meet 'depends on $(cc-option,...)' will be forcibly disabled. So, 'make defconfig && make savedefconfig' may silently change the behavior. This commit adds a set of dummy toolchains that pretend to support any feature. Most of compiler features are tested by cc-option, which simply checks the exit code of $(CC). The dummy tools are shell scripts that always exit with 0. So, $(cc-option, ...) is evaluated as 'y'. There are more complicated checks such as: scripts/gcc-x86_{32,64}-has-stack-protector.sh scripts/gcc-plugin.sh scripts/tools-support-relr.sh scripts/dummy-tools/gcc passes all checks. From the top directory of the source tree, you can do: $ make CROSS_COMPILE=scripts/dummy-tools/ oldconfig Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Jeremy Cline <jcline@redhat.com>
