As a result, the default linker of # the compiler is used, which may differ from the linker requested by the # builder. For example: # # $ make ARCH=powerpc LLVM=1 mrproper defconfig arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/ # ... # # $ llvm-readelf -p .comment arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so.dbg # # File: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg # String dump of section '.comment': # [ 0] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37) # # File: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg # String dump of section '.comment': # [ 0] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37) # # LLVM=1 sets LD=ld.lld but ld.lld is not used to link the vDSO; GNU ld is # because "ld" is the default linker for clang on most Linux platforms. # # This is a problem for Clang's Link Time Optimization as implemented in # the kernel because use of GNU ld with LTO requires the LLVMgold plugin, # which is not technically supported for ld.bfd per # https://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html. Furthermore, if LLVMgold.so is # missing from a user's system, the build will fail, even though LTO as it # is implemented in the kernel requires ld.lld to avoid this dependency in # the first place. # # Ultimately, the PowerPC vDSO should be converted to compiling and # linking with $(CC) and $(LD) respectively but there were issues last # time this was tried, potentially due to older but supported tool # versions. To avoid regressing GCC + binutils, use the compiler option # '-fuse-ld', which tells the compiler which linker to use when it is # invoked as both the compiler and linker. Use '-fuse-ld=lld' when # LD=ld.lld has been specified (CONFIG_LD_IS_LLD) so that the vDSO is # linked with the same linker as the rest of the kernel. # # $ llvm-readelf -p .comment arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so.dbg # # File: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg # String dump of section '.comment': # [ 0] Linker: LLD 14.0.0 # [ 14] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37) # # File: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg # String dump of section '.comment': # [ 0] Linker: LLD 14.0.0 # [ 14] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37) # # LD can be a full path to ld.lld, which will not be handled properly by # '-fuse-ld=lld' if the full path to ld.lld is outside of the compiler's # search path. '-fuse-ld' can take a path to the linker but it is # deprecated in clang 12.0.0; '--ld-path' is preferred for this scenario. # # Use '--ld-path' if it is supported, as it will handle a full path or # just 'ld.lld' properly.
