If CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and the kernel is built from
a pristine state, the vmlinux is linked twice.
Commit 3fdc7d3fe4c0 ("kbuild: link vmlinux only once for
CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS") explains why this happens, but it did not fix
the issue at all.
Now I realized I had applied a wrong patch.
In v1 patch [1], the autoksyms_recursive target correctly recurses to
"$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile autoksyms_recursive".
In v2 patch [2], I accidentally dropped the diff line, and it recurses to
"$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile vmlinux".
Restore the code I intended in v1.

In commit 8b202ee21839 ("s390: disable -Warray-bounds") the s390 people
disabled the '-Warray-bounds' warning for gcc-12, because the new logic
in gcc would cause warnings for their use of the S390_lowcore macro,
which accesses absolute pointers.
It turns out gcc-12 has many other issues in this area, so this takes
that s390 warning disable logic, and turns it into a kernel build config
entry instead.
Part of the intent is that we can make this all much more targeted, and
use this conflig flag to disable it in only particular configurations
that cause problems, with the s390 case as an example:
select GCC12_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS
and we could do that for other configuration cases that cause issues.
Or we could possibly use the CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS thing in a more
targeted way, and disable the warning only for particular uses: again
the s390 case as an example:
KBUILD_CFLAGS_DECOMPRESSOR += $(if $(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS),-Wno-array-bounds)
but this ends up just doing it globally in the top-level Makefile, since
the current issues are spread fairly widely all over:
KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CONFIG_CC_NO_ARRAY_BOUNDS) += -Wno-array-bounds
We'll try to limit this later, since the gcc-12 problems are rare enough
that *much* of the kernel can be built with it without disabling this
warning.

While the concept of checking for dangling pointers to local variables
at function exit is really interesting, the gcc-12 implementation is not
compatible with reality, and results in false positives.
For example, gcc sees us putting things on a local list head allocated
on the stack, which involves exactly those kinds of pointers to the
local stack entry:
In function ‘__list_add’,
inlined from ‘list_add_tail’ at include/linux/list.h:102:2,
inlined from ‘rebuild_snap_realms’ at fs/ceph/snap.c:434:2:
include/linux/list.h:74:19: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘realm_queue’ in ‘*&realm_27(D)->rebuild_item.prev’ [-Wdangling-pointer=]
74 | new->prev = prev;
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
But then gcc - understandably - doesn't really understand the big
picture how the doubly linked list works, so doesn't see how we then end
up emptying said list head in a loop and the pointer we added has been
removed.
Gcc also complains about us (intentionally) using this as a way to store
a kind of fake stack trace, eg
drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c:40:38: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘current_sp’ in ‘acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer’ [-Wdangling-pointer=]
40 | acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer = ¤t_sp;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
which is entirely reasonable from a compiler standpoint, and we may want
to change those kinds of patterns, but not not.
So this is one of those "it would be lovely if the compiler were to
complain about us leaving dangling pointers to the stack", but not this
way.
