Subject[PATCH] LoongArch: Drop -ffreestanding from CFLAGS
Date
From: WANG Xuerui <git@xen0n.name>

As explained by Nick in the original issue: the kernel usually does a
good job of providing library helpers that have similar semantics as
their ordinary userspace libc equivalents, but -ffreestanding disables
such libcall optimization and other related features in the compiler,
which can lead to unexpected things such as CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE not
working (!).

As it turns out to be the case, removing the flag does not impact the
LoongArch kernel's normal operation at all; so just remove it to
restore expected libcall semantics globally on this architecture.

Closes: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1897
