6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Nathan Chancellor nathan@kernel.org
commit 846cfbeed09b45d985079a9173cf390cc053715b upstream.
The kernel builds with -fno-PIE, so commit 883354afbc10 ("um: link vmlinux with -no-pie") added the compiler linker flag '-no-pie' via cc-option because '-no-pie' was only supported in GCC 6.1.0 and newer.
While this works for GCC, this does not work for clang because cc-option uses '-c', which stops the pipeline right before linking, so '-no-pie' is unconsumed and clang warns, causing cc-option to fail just as it would if the option was entirely unsupported:
$ clang -Werror -no-pie -c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-no-pie' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
A recent version of clang exposes this because it generates a relocation under '-mcmodel=large' that is not supported in PIE mode:
/usr/sbin/ld: init/main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against symbol `saved_command_line' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE /usr/sbin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
Remove the cc-option check altogether. It is wasteful to invoke the compiler to check for '-no-pie' because only one supported compiler version does not support it, GCC 5.x (as it is supported with the minimum version of clang and GCC 6.1.0+). Use a combination of the gcc-min-version macro and CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG to unconditionally add '-no-pie' with CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_DYN=y, so that it is enabled with all compilers that support this. Furthermore, using gcc-min-version can help turn this back into
LINK-$(CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_DYN) += -no-pie
when the minimum version of GCC is bumped past 6.1.0.
