Clang's in-progress per-task stack protector support [1] does not work with the current Kconfig checks because '-mstack-protector-guard-offset' is not provided, unlike all other architecture Kconfig checks.
$ fd Kconfig -x rg -l mstack-protector-guard-offset ./arch/arm/Kconfig ./arch/riscv/Kconfig ./arch/arm64/Kconfig
This produces an error from clang, which is interpreted as the flags not being supported at all when they really are.
$ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu \ -mstack-protector-guard=tls \ -mstack-protector-guard-reg=r13 \ -c -o /dev/null -x c /dev/null clang: error: '-mstack-protector-guard=tls' is used without '-mstack-protector-guard-offset', and there is no default
This argument will always be provided by the build system, so mirror other architectures and use '-mstack-protector-guard-offset=0' for testing support, which fixes the issue for clang and does not regress support with GCC.
Even with the first problem addressed, the 32-bit test continues to fail because Kbuild uses the powerpc64le-linux-gnu target for clang and nothing flips the target to 32-bit, resulting in an error about an invalid register valid:
$ clang --target=powerpc64le-linux-gnu \ -mstack-protector-guard=tls -mstack-protector-guard-reg=r2 \ -mstack-protector-guard-offset=0 \ -x c -c -o /dev/null /dev/null clang: error: invalid value 'r2' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r13
While GCC allows arbitrary registers, the implementation of '-mstack-protector-guard=tls' in LLVM shares the same code path as the user space thread local storage implementation, which uses a fixed register (2 for 32-bit and 13 for 62-bit), so the command line parsing enforces this limitation.
Use the Kconfig macro '$(m32-flag)', which expands to '-m32' when supported, in the stack protector support cc-option call to properly switch the target to a 32-bit one, which matches what happens in Kbuild. While the 64-bit macro does not strictly need it, add the equivalent 64-bit option for symmetry.
