Facing the compilation error after following the mentioned steps

[ManuAryan111]

Hi

I am getting the following error after compiling the kernel using the mentioned steps

Then I commented out the CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y in config file, compilation is successful , Is it okay to do that? any implications from that?

How are you compiling it?

Maybe you are missing this or something? https://git.kernel.org/linus/ce279d374ff315264efcbcef75cc21b9fef8b36f

Hi Nathan,

This is how I compiled

make O=out ARCH=arm64 helios_defconfig

PATH="/build/mhs/kernel_to_qcom/prebuilts/prebuilts/clang/host/linux-x86/clang-r353983c/bin:/build/mhs/kernel_to_qcom/prebuilts/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/bin:${PATH}" \

make -j$(nproc --all) O=out ARCH=arm64 CC=clang CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu- CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-android-

I have tried with the aforementioned patch :https://git.kernel.org/linus/ce279d374ff315264efcbcef75cc21b9fef8b36f and I am still seeing the same error,
May I know what is the implication of disabling CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y ? or is there any possible way to rectify this issue.
