    bpfilter: match bit size of bpfilter_umh to that of the kernel · 9371f86e
    Masahiro Yamada authored
    bpfilter_umh is built for the default machine bit of the compiler,
    which may not match to the bit size of the kernel.
    
    This happens in the scenario below:
    
    You can use biarch GCC that defaults to 64-bit for building the 32-bit
    kernel. In this case, Kbuild passes -m32 to teach the compiler to
    produce 32-bit kernel space objects. However, it is missing when
    building bpfilter_umh. It is built as a 64-bit ELF, and then embedded
    into the 32-bit kernel.
    
    The 32-bit kernel and 64-bit umh is a bad combination.
    
    In theory, we can have 32-bit umh running on 64-bit kernel, but we do
    not have a good reason to support such a usecase.
    
    The best is to match the bit size between them.
    
    Pass -m32 or -m64 to the umh build command if it is found in
    $(KBUILD_CFLAGS). Evaluate CC_CAN_LINK against the kernel bit-size.
