For example on Gentoo systems where _FORTIFY_SOURCE is set by default,
`make -C tools/perf' fails, because of the macro being redefined.

Fix that by a feature-check analogous to tools/perf/config/Makefile.

So how about undefining it instead and re-defining it as 
_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2?

Just in case a distro sets a weaker version - lets not accept that 
weaker setting. We've always had the stronger version of it.

Thanks,

Yes, I was suggesting something similar (but without founded reasoning),
some time ago [1].

Would the "undefining-approch" mean that we should modify the handling
of _FORTIFY_SOURCE in tools/perf/config/Makefile as well?

I submitted a patch for this a few days ago, but I didn't realize I
should CC linux-kbuild@ (my bad):
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/18/71

yours,
Bobby

Thanks for the hint, Bobby, I really should have checked recent
archives.

I could not apply your patch against Linus' current tree, but tested it
with your change typed in, manually with positive result (as expected).
