Subject: [PATCH v4 10/13] x86/purgatory: Compile purgatory with -D__NO_FORTIFY
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 11:50:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916095022.604354-11-thuth@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916095022.604354-1-thuth@redhat.com>
A subsequent patch will add #include <linux/string.h> to <crypto/sha2.h>
to use memzero_explicit() there. This will introduce a conflict with the
purgatory code: purgatory.c includes both, the <crypto/sha2.h> header and
the arch/x86/boot/string.h header. The latter provides its own prototypes
for a lot of string functions which clash with the fortified macros
from <linux/string.h>, causing the compiler to emit errors like this:
In file included from .../linux/include/linux/string.h:383,

./linux/arch/x86/purgatory/../boot/string.h:23:15: note: in expansion of macro ‘strlen’
23 | extern size_t strlen(const char *s);
| ^~~~~~
To avoid the problem, let's compile the code in the purgatory with
-D__NO_FORTIFY, so <linux/string.h> can properly be included from
headers like <crypto/sha2.h> in the purgatory, too.
