After merging the kspp tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64

cc1: error: plugin stackleak_plugin should be specified before

Maybe caused by commit
a8b9eaddb9c0 ("gcc-plugins: Add STACKLEAK plugin for tracking the kernel
stack")
I have used the kspp tree from next-20180726 for today.
Well, that obviously didn't work since the tree hasn't changed for a
few days.
I can't see what has interacted to make this happen, so I have dropped
the kspp tree for today.
Actually, it may have been caused by commit
0b3e336601b8 ("arm64: Add support for STACKLEAK gcc plugin")
from the arm64 tree.
Thanks, Stephen. I managed to reproduce this by merging for-next/kspp from
Kees's tree and for-next/core from the arm64 tree. The failure happens when
building the EFI stub, so the commit you mention above is almost certainly
the culprit.
We build the stub with the following GCC invocation:
gcc -Wp,-MD,drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/.efi-stub-helper.o.d -nostdinc -isystem
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/include -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated
-I./include -I./arch/x86/include/uapi -I./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I./include/uapi
-I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h -include
./include/linux/compiler_types.h -D__KERNEL__ -mcmodel=small -m64 -D__KERNEL__ -O2 -fPIC
-fno-strict-aliasing -mno-red-zone -mno-mmx -mno-sse -fshort-wchar -DDISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING
-D__NO_FORTIFY -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector -fplugin-arg-stackleak_plugin-disable
-fno-builtin -DKBUILD_BASENAME='"efi_stub_helper"'
-DKBUILD_MODNAME='"efi_stub_helper"' -c -o
drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/.tmp_efi-stub-helper.o drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub-helper.c
so given that we're not passing any -fplugin= option anyway (because we
override KBUILD_CFLAGS for the stub), I don't understand why we need
to the disable option at all.
Laura?
So today I am just trying reverting that arm64 tree commit.
It looks like arm and arm64 start from the KBUILD_CFLAGS and
then filter out vs. x86 which just specifies the CFLAGS individually,
hence x86 picking up the disable when there's no plugin at all. This
seems to be the simplest fix unless we want to change arm64 to not
pick up all the KBUILD_CFLAGS to match x86. That seems like a more
involved process though. If this is okay, I can send a patch
that also sticks a comment in there explaining why fixing on arm64
is necessary.
