Can you give some advices on how to implement
"attribute((no_stack_protector))" for Clang?

I looked on how this is done for GCC...

[ include/linux/compiler-gcc.h ]

#if GCC_VERSION >= 40400
#define __optimize(level)       __attribute__((__optimize__(level)))
#define __nostackprotector      __optimize("no-stack-protector")
#endif /* GCC_VERSION >= 40400 */

[ include/linux/compiler_types.h ]

#ifndef __nostackprotector
# define __nostackprotector
#endif

LLVM-bug #37512 says:

"GCC option for this is: attribute((optimize("no-stack-protector")))
and the equivalent clang syntax would be: attribute((no_stack_protector))"

So, there should be a define in "include/linux/compiler-clang.h" for this?

[ include/linux/compiler-clang.h ]

#define __nostackprotector attribute((no_stack_protector))

Looks that good to you?
