#1224619 — [PATCH] kbuild: llvmlinux: Set appropriate compiler-flag for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

Based on a patch of Behan Webster (see [1]).

CLANG (here: v3.7) requires '-Oz' as OptLevel to be set.

A Linux v4.3-rc1 kernel built fine with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
and boots on bare metal.
This is a Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system.

Tested against Linux v4.3-rc1 and a refreshed llvmlinux patchset.

#1224624 — Re: [PATCH] kbuild: llvmlinux: Set appropriate compiler-flag for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

Other than you changing the commit comment, this *is* my patch.

I haven't upstreamed this patch yet because we are still characterizing 
its effects on other architectures.

Clang certainly doesn't require -Oz to be used to be able to boot for 
arm nor arm64. So the commit message isn't correct either.

Then embed this information into the changelog of *your* patch.

Read my changelog carefully - I reported success on AMD64.

So what is *your* solution in case of CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
(OptLevel '-Os' is wrong, '-Oz' is correct)?

Hack around with BROKEN Kconfig keyword :-)...

[ init/Kconfig ]
...
config CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
        bool "Optimize for size"
        help
          Enabling this option will pass "-Os" instead of "-O2" to
          your compiler resulting in a smaller kernel.

          If unsure, say N.
...

Or at least document it in the official upstream Linux-kernel as clang
supported landed there.
Document BROKEN kernel-options with llvmlinux (clang).
Do you have a doc-file in Documentation-dir?

It's in our tree/build system, as a work in progress. Which is why I 
haven't upstreamed it yet.

I don't have one yet, which is precisely why I haven't upstreamed it yet.

Sedat, why don't you try working with us instead of making demands and 
accusing people?
