kbuild: use more subdir- for visiting subdirectories while cleaning

2021-10-24T04:49:46+00:00

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for
cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement.

Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for
all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j)
for "make clean".

I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep"
target no longer exists.

gcc-plugins: Remove cyc_complexity

2021-10-21T15:41:47+00:00

This plugin has no impact on the resulting binary, is disabled
under COMPILE_TEST, and is not enabled on any builds I'm aware of.
Additionally, given the clarified purpose of GCC plugins in the kernel,
remove cyc_complexity.

gcc-plugins: Explicitly document purpose and deprecation schedule

2021-10-21T15:41:38+00:00

GCC plugins should only exist when some compiler feature needs to be
proven but does not exist in either GCC nor Clang. For example, if a
desired feature is already in Clang, it should be added to GCC upstream.
Document this explicitly.

Additionally, mark the plugins with matching upstream GCC features as
removable past their respective GCC versions.

docs: use the lore redirector everywhere

2021-10-12T19:58:19+00:00

Change all links from using the lkml redirector to the lore redirector,
as the kernel.org admin recently indicated: we shouldn't be using
lkml.kernel.org anymore because the domain can create confusion, as it
indicates it is only valid for messages sent to the LKML; the convention
has been to use https://lore.kernel.org/r/msgid for this reason.

In this process also change three links from using http to https.

This should have been done with commit 91ed3ed0f798 ("MAINTAINERS: update
ClangBuiltLinux IRC chat") but I did not realize it was in two separate
spots.

scripts/Makefile.clang: default to LLVM_IAS=1

2021-08-10T00:13:25+00:00

LLVM_IAS=1 controls enabling clang's integrated assembler via
-integrated-as. This was an explicit opt in until we could enable
assembler support in Clang for more architecures. Now we have support
and CI coverage of LLVM_IAS=1 for all architecures except a few more
bugs affecting s390 and powerpc.

This commit flips the default from opt in via LLVM_IAS=1 to opt out via
LLVM_IAS=0.  CI systems or developers that were previously doing builds
with CC=clang or LLVM=1 without explicitly setting LLVM_IAS must now
explicitly opt out via LLVM_IAS=0, otherwise they will be implicitly
opted-in.

This finally shortens the command line invocation when cross compiling
with LLVM to simply:

$ make ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1
