Subject: [PATCH] klp-build: Support clang/llvm built kernel
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:03:21 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260129170321.700854-1-song@kernel.org> (raw)
When the kernel is built with clang/llvm, it is expected to run make
with "make LLVM=1 ...". The same is needed when building livepatches.
Use CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG as the flag to detect kernel built with
clang/llvm, and add LLVM=1 to make commands from klp-build
