Subject: [PATCH v1] objtool: HAVE_XXHASH test uses HOSTCFLAGS.
Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2026 01:03:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260303010340.306164-1-elsk@google.com> (raw)
Previously, HAVE_XXHASH is tested by invoking HOSTCC without HOSTCFLAGS.
Consider the following scenario:
- The host machine has libxxhash installed
- We build the kernel with HOSTCFLAGS containing a --sysroot that does
not have xxhash.h (for hermetic builds)
In this case, HAVE_XXHASH is set to y, but when it builds objtool with
HOSTCFLAGS, because the --sysroot does not contain xxhash.h, the
following error is raised:
<...>/common/tools/objtool/include/objtool/checksum_types.h:12:10: fatal error: 'xxhash.h' file not found
12 | #include <xxhash.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~
To resolve the error, we test HAVE_XXHASH by invoking HOSTCC with
HOSTCFLAGS.
