Kees Cook 607e57c6c6 hardening: Remove Clang's enable flag for -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero
Now that Clang's -enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang
option is no longer required, remove it from the command line. Clang 16
and later will warn when it is used, which will cause Kconfig to think
it can't use -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero at all. Check for whether it
is required and only use it when so.

README

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.
