Merge tag 'kbuild-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada: "Build system: - add CONFIG_UNUSED_KSYMS_WHITELIST, which will be useful to define a fixed set of export symbols for Generic Kernel Image (GKI) - allow to run 'make dt_binding_check' without .config - use full schema for checking DT examples in *.yaml files - make modpost fail for missing MODULE_IMPORT_NS(), which makes more sense because we know the produced modules are never loadable - Remove unused 'AS' variable Kconfig: - sanitize DEFCONFIG_LIST, and remove ARCH_DEFCONFIG from Kconfig files - relax the 'imply' behavior so that symbols implied by 'y' can become 'm' - make 'imply' obey 'depends on' in order to make 'imply' really weak Misc: - add documentation on building the kernel with Clang/LLVM - revive __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN for 32bit sparc to use optimized strlen() - fix warning from deb-pkg builds when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n - various script and Makefile cleanups" * tag 'kbuild-v5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild: (34 commits) Makefile: Update kselftest help information kbuild: deb-pkg: fix warning when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is unset kbuild: add outputmakefile to no-dot-config-targets kbuild: remove AS variable net: wan: wanxl: refactor the firmware rebuild rule net: wan: wanxl: use $(M68KCC) instead of $(M68KAS) for rebuilding firmware net: wan: wanxl: use allow to pass CROSS_COMPILE_M68k for rebuilding firmware kbuild: add comment about grouped target kbuild: add -Wall to KBUILD_HOSTCXXFLAGS kconfig: remove unused variable in qconf.cc sparc: revive __HAVE_ARCH_STRLEN for 32bit sparc kbuild: refactor Makefile.dtbinst more kbuild: compute the dtbs_install destination more simply Makefile: disallow data races on gcc-10 as well kconfig: make 'imply' obey the direct dependency kconfig: allow symbols implied by y to become m net: drop_monitor: use IS_REACHABLE() to guard net_dm_hw_report() modpost: return error if module is missing ns imports and MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=n modpost: rework and consolidate logging interface kbuild: allow to run dt_binding_check without kernel configuration ...

+==============================
+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. These can be invoked as
+additional parameters to `make`.
+
+ make CC=clang AS=clang LD=ld.lld AR=llvm-ar NM=llvm-nm STRIP=llvm-strip \\
+ OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy OBJDUMP=llvm-objdump OBJSIZE=llvm-objsize \\
+ READELF=llvm-readelf HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++ HOSTAR=llvm-ar \\
+ HOSTLD=ld.lld
