[ Upstream commit 589834b3a0097a4908f4112eac0ca2feb486fa32 ]
In commit ebcc5928c5d9 ("arm64: Silence gcc warnings about arch ABI drift"), the arm64 Makefile added -Wno-psabi to KBUILD_CFLAGS, which is a GCC only option so clang rightfully complains:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wunknown-warning-optio...
However, by default, this is merely a warning so the build happily goes on with a slew of these warnings in the process.
Commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to cc-option to support clang") worked around this behavior in cc-option by adding -Werror so that unknown flags cause an error. However, this all happens silently and when an unknown flag is added to the build unconditionally like -Wno-psabi, cc-option will always fail because there is always an unknown flag in the list of flags. This manifested as link time failures in the arm64 libstub because -fno-stack-protector didn't get added to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
To avoid these weird cryptic failures in the future, make clang behave like gcc and immediately error when it encounters an unknown flag by adding -Werror=unknown-warning-option to CLANG_FLAGS. This can be added unconditionally for clang because it is supported by at least 3.0.0, according to godbolt [1] and 4.0.0, according to its documentation [2], which is far earlier than we typically support.
