The LLVMLinux Project is working towards the ability o= f providing the Linux kernel developer the choice of using the Clang comp= iler toolchain. This is a part of a series of patches which remove the use o= f VLAIS from crypto code, dm-crypt, jbd2, libcrc32c, netfilter, and usb gadget.= Other patches to allow Clang to be used will follow.
