commit 84ffc79bfbf70c779e60218563f2f3ad45288671 upstream.
A recent optimization change in LLVM [1] aims to transform certain loop
idioms into calls to strlen() or wcslen(). This change transforms the
first while loop in UniStrcat() into a call to wcslen(), breaking the
build when UniStrcat() gets inlined into alloc_path_with_tree_prefix():
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: wcslen
>>> referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
>>> vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)
>>> referenced by nls_ucs2_utils.h:54 (fs/smb/client/../../nls/nls_ucs2_utils.h:54)
>>> vmlinux.o:(alloc_path_with_tree_prefix)
Disable this optimization with '-fno-builtin-wcslen', which prevents the
compiler from assuming that wcslen() is available in the kernel's C
library.
[ More to the point - it's not that we couldn't implement wcslen(), it's
that this isn't an optimization at all in the context of the kernel.
Replacing a simple inlined loop with a function call to the same loop
is just stupid and pointless if you don't have long strings and fancy
libraries with vectorization support etc.
For the regular 'strlen()' cases, we want the compiler to do this in
order to handle the trivial case of constant strings. And we do have
optimized versions of 'strlen()' on some architectures. But for
wcslen? Just no. - Linus ]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
