[PATCH] kbuild: add most of Clang-specific flags unconditionally

[PATCH] kbuild: add most of Clang-specific flags unconditionally

[Masahiro Yamada]

We do not support old Clang versions. Upgrade your clang version
if any of these flags is unsupported.

Let's add flags within ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG unconditionally,
except -fcatch-undefined-behavior.

Looks good to me.

Just as sidenote:
I experimented with a snapshot version of clang-9 and lld-9 and could
build, link and boot on bare-metal with '-mglobal-merge' on
Debian/buster AMD64.
But forgot to document in [1].

The comment says
 # CLANG uses a _MergedGlobals as optimization, but this breaks modpost, as the
 # source of a reference will be _MergedGlobals and not on of the
whitelisted names.
 # See modpost pattern 2

So, it seems it is just a matter of modpost,
but I am not sure enough.

This flag has been here since the initial support.

Perhaps, we should review clang flags one by one again?

Yes, it's always good to re-evaluate if something is just cruft and
can be removed.

I don't quite understand the comment about _MergedGlobals, Behan, do
happen to have more context?

I think we should just remove this, I'm fairly confident the kernel
can't be reliably compiled with anything earlier than Clang 4 (Pixel 2
was shipped with it but had some hacks, this commit is from Clang 3.5):

[PATCH] Makefile: Don't try to add '-fcatch-undefined-behavior' flag

[Nathan Chancellor]

This is no longer a valid option in clang, it was removed in 3.5, which
we don't support.

Let me know if you want this incremental to your patch. I figured it
made more sense to remove this then do the cc-option/cc-disable-warning
removal because it will simplify the commit message.

No problem. I will rebase mine on top of this.

Cool.

Can you test with -mglobal-merge (inverted -mno-global-merge) which is
default for Clang?
I could build, link and boot with my llvm-toolchain (incl. lld-9) on x86-64.

Maybe this is also no more needed?

Thanks.

Looks like these were added in r234668 in 2015, which would've been
Clang 3.6.2, according to:
http://releases.llvm.org/

I'd be fine with dropping the option check there.

There's a few here (-Qunused-arguments) that don't need cc-option
checks.  I recommend someone audit all of them, rather than send a
bunch of little patches.

Applied to linux-kbuild.
Thanks.

Yeah, clang-4 is usually what I test these with, as that's the
earliest known version of Clang that I ever had success with.
Hopefully a lot of things will stabilize for the clang-9 release.

Anyways, I checked these all w/ godbolt w/ clang-4.
