Dear stable kernel maintainers,
(Woah, two in one day; have I exceeded my limit?)

Please consider the attached patch for 5.4 and 4.19 for commit
b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with
LLVM_IAS=1"), which fixes a significant number of warnings under arch/
when assembling a kernel with Clang.

These backports have already been shipped in Android; I would like to
revert them and take them from syncing with stable. CrOS also has the
patches staged, but I would prefer for them to sync them from stable
as well.

b8a9092330da just landed in v5.10-rc7.  I recently read
https://lwn.net/Articles/838819/, which mentions a discussion about
letting patches have more time to soak in mainline, so I accept if
your decision is to wait, though I'll note these have been soaking in
Android for 2 days shy of one month (Nov 10).

There were minor conflicts due to missing Kbuild support for
compressed debug info, which is a feature I implemented but don't plan
to backport to stable.

We plan to use Clang's integrated assembler for Android and CrOS for 4.19+.

Subject: [PATCH] Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1

commit b8a9092330da2030496ff357272f342eb970d51b upstream.

Clang's integrated assembler produces the warning for assembly files:

warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per compilation unit

If -Wa,-gdwarf-* is unspecified, then debug info is not emitted for
assembly sources (it is still emitted for C sources).  This will be
re-enabled for newer DWARF versions in a follow up patch.

Enables defconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO to build cleanly with
LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 for x86_64 and arm64.

I also need a version of this for 5.9.y before we can take this for
older kernels.  Can you provide that as well?

thanks,

Yes, apologies.  It's similar to the 5.4.y patch, but with a shorter
set of conflicts as noted in the commit message.  Attached.
