kbuild: userprogs: use correct lld when linking through clang

2025-03-04T19:02:39Z

The userprog infrastructure links objects files through $(CC). Either explicitly by manually calling $(CC) on multiple object files or implicitly by directly compiling a source file to an executable. The documentation at Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst indicates that ld.lld would be used for linking if LLVM=1 is specified. However clang instead will use either a globally installed cross linker from $PATH called ${target}-ld or fall back to the system linker, which probably does not support crosslinking. For the normal kernel build this is not an issue because the linker is always executed directly, without the compiler being involved. Explicitly pass --ld-path to clang so $(LD) is respected. As clang 13.0.1 is required to build the kernel, this option is available.

kbuild: userprogs: fix bitsize and target detection on clang

2025-02-15T18:10:58Z

scripts/Makefile.clang was changed in the linked commit to move --target from KBUILD_CFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, as that generally has a broader scope. However that variable is not inspected by the userprogs logic, breaking cross compilation on clang. Use both variables to detect bitsize and target arguments for userprogs.

tools: fix annoying "mkdir -p ..." logs when building tools in parallel

2025-02-15T13:36:10Z

When CONFIG_OBJTOOL=y or CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y, parallel builds show awkward "mkdir -p ..." logs. $ make -j16 [ snip ] mkdir -p /home/masahiro/ref/linux/tools/objtool && make O=/home/masahiro/ref/linux subdir=tools/objtool --no-print-directory -C objtool mkdir -p /home/masahiro/ref/linux/tools/bpf/resolve_btfids && make O=/home/masahiro/ref/linux subdir=tools/bpf/resolve_btfids --no-print-directory -C bpf/resolve_btfids Defining MAKEFLAGS= on the command line wipes out command line switches from the resultant MAKEFLAGS definition, even though the command line switches are active. [1] MAKEFLAGS puts all single-letter options into the first word, and that word will be empty if no single-letter options were given. [2] However, this breaks if MAKEFLAGS= is given on the command line. The tools/ and tools/% targets set MAKEFLAGS= on the command line, which breaks the following code in tools/scripts/Makefile.include: short-opts := $(firstword -$(MAKEFLAGS)) If MAKEFLAGS really needs modification, it should be done through the environment variable, as follows: MAKEFLAGS= $(MAKE) ... That said, I question whether modifying MAKEFLAGS is necessary here. The only flag we might want to exclude is --no-print-directory, as the tools build system changes the working directory. However, people might find the "Entering/Leaving directory" logs annoying. I simply removed the offending MAKEFLAGS=.
