From f12b034afeb3a977bbb1c6584dedc0f3dc666f14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Desaulniers Date: Fri, 6 Aug 2021 10:27:01 -0700 Subject: scripts/Makefile.clang: default to LLVM_IAS=1 LLVM_IAS=1 controls enabling clang's integrated assembler via -integrated-as. This was an explicit opt in until we could enable assembler support in Clang for more architecures. Now we have support and CI coverage of LLVM_IAS=1 for all architecures except a few more bugs affecting s390 and powerpc. This commit flips the default from opt in via LLVM_IAS=1 to opt out via LLVM_IAS=0. CI systems or developers that were previously doing builds with CC=clang or LLVM=1 without explicitly setting LLVM_IAS must now explicitly opt out via LLVM_IAS=0, otherwise they will be implicitly opted-in. This finally shortens the command line invocation when cross compiling with LLVM to simply: $ make ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1 Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada --- Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst | 14 ++++++++------ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation/kbuild') diff --git a/Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst b/Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst index f8a360958f4c..e87ed5479963 100644 --- a/Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst +++ b/Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst @@ -60,17 +60,14 @@ They can be enabled individually.
