When CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_DEBUGGING is set, we get countless warnings like
In function 'check_copy_size', inlined from 'copy_from_user' at include/linux/uaccess.h:146:6, inlined from '__copy_siginfo_from_user' at kernel/signal.c:3032:6: include/linux/thread_info.h:147:4: error: call to '__bad_copy_to' declared with attribute error: copy destination size is too small It seems that constant propagation doesn't work well enough to make this code reliable, so turn it off for that configuration.
