Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: If not .svg: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

Building Linux with Clang/LLVM
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
This document covers how to build the Linux kernel with Clang and LLVM
|
|
utilities.
|
|
|
|
About
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The Linux kernel has always traditionally been compiled with GNU toolchains
|
|
such as GCC and binutils. Ongoing work has allowed for `Clang
|
|
<https://clang.llvm.org/>`_ and `LLVM <https://llvm.org/>`_ utilities to be
|
|
used as viable substitutes. Distributions such as `Android
|
|
<https://www.android.com/>`_, `ChromeOS
|
|
<https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os>`_, and `OpenMandriva
|
|
<https://www.openmandriva.org/>`_ use Clang built kernels. `LLVM is a
|
|
collection of toolchain components implemented in terms of C++ objects
|
|
<https://www.aosabook.org/en/llvm.html>`_. Clang is a front-end to LLVM that
|
|
supports C and the GNU C extensions required by the kernel, and is pronounced
|
|
"klang," not "see-lang."
|
|
|
|
Clang
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The compiler used can be swapped out via `CC=` command line argument to `make`.
|
|
`CC=` should be set when selecting a config and during a build.
|
|
|
|
make CC=clang defconfig
|
|
|
|
make CC=clang
|
|
|
|
Cross Compiling
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
A single Clang compiler binary will typically contain all supported backends,
|
|
which can help simplify cross compiling.
|
|
|
|
ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make CC=clang
|
|
|
|
`CROSS_COMPILE` is not used to prefix the Clang compiler binary, instead
|
|
`CROSS_COMPILE` is used to set a command line flag: `--target <triple>`. For
|
|
example:
|
|
|
|
clang --target aarch64-linux-gnu foo.c
|
|
|
|
LLVM Utilities
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
LLVM has substitutes for GNU binutils utilities. Kbuild supports `LLVM=1`
|
|
to enable them.
|
|
|
|
make LLVM=1
|
|
|
|
They can be enabled individually. The full list of the parameters:
|
|
|
|
make CC=clang LD=ld.lld AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm STRIP=llvm-strip \\
|
|
OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump OBJSIZE=llvm-size \\
|
|
READELF=llvm-readelf HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTAR=llvm-ar \\
|
|
HOSTLD=ld.lld
|
|
|
|
Currently, the integrated assembler is disabled by default. You can pass
|
|
`LLVM_IAS=1` to enable it.
