Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] perf build: Support building with Clang
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:54:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250930-perf_build_android_ndk-v2-0-2ea440b7ef01@arm.com> (raw)
This series adds support for building perf with Clang, following the
discussion in [1]. Because the Android NDK uses Clang by default,
enabling Clang builds naturally covers Android as well.
The series is organized as follows:
- Patches 1–2: Fix two bugs found with Clang.
- Patches 3–6: Correct CROSS_ARCH and dismiss Clang build warnings.
- Patches 7–8: Enable Clang in the Makefile and update the
documentation.
Testing:
- Clang 15.0.7 on Ubuntu 22.04.5: native and cross-compiling (aarch64)
- Clang 18.1.3 on Ubuntu 24.04.2: native and cross-compiling (aarch64)
- Android NDK r27d (latest LTS): cross-compiling (aarch64)

Changes in v2:
- Dropped the patch for dismissing warning in bpftool.
- Refined the document. (Ian)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250925-perf_build_android_ndk-v1-0-8b35aadde3dc@arm.com
