Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support for Clang:
Use the new __pass_object_size and __overloadable attributes so that
Clang will have appropriate visibility into argument sizes such that
__builtin_object_size(p, 1) will behave correctly. Additional details
available here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53516
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1401
A bug with __builtin_constant_p() of globally defined variables was
fixed in Clang 13 (and backported to 12.0.1), so FORTIFY support must
depend on that version or later. Additional details here:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41459
commit a52f8a59ae ("fortify: Explicitly disable Clang support")
A bug with Clang's -mregparm=3 and -m32 makes some builtins unusable,
so removing -ffreestanding (to gain the needed libcall optimizations
with Clang) cannot be done. Without the libcall optimizations, Clang
cannot provide appropriate FORTIFY coverage, so it must be disabled
for CONFIG_X86_32. Additional details here;

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.
