[ Upstream commit8cdd23c23c] Commit97fed779f2("arm64: bti: Provide Kconfig for kernel mode BTI") disabled CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was enabled and compiling with clang because of warnings that were seen with allmodconfig because LLVM was not emitting PAC/BTI instructions for compiler generated functions: | warning: some functions compiled with BTI and some compiled without BTI | warning: not setting BTI in feature flags This dependency was fine for avoiding the warnings with allmodconfig until commit51c2ee6d12("Kconfig: Introduce ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR and CC_HAS_NO_PROFILE_FN_ATTR"), which prevents CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL from being enabled with clang 12.0.0 or older because those versions do not support the no_profile_instrument_function attribute. As a result, CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL gets enabled with allmodconfig and there are more warnings like the ones above due to CONFIG_KASAN, which suffers from the same problem as CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL. This was most likely not noticed at the time because allmodconfig + CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n was not tested. defconfig + CONFIG_KASAN=y is enough to reproduce the same warnings as above. The root cause of the warnings was resolved in LLVM during the 12.0.0 release so rather than play whack-a-mole with the dependencies, just update CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL to require clang 12.0.0, which will have all of the issues ironed out.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
