Commit Message

Tor Vic June 10, 2021, 9:28 a.m. UTC
Since LLVM commit 3787ee4, the '-stack-alignment' flag has been dropped [1],
leading to the following error message when building a LTO kernel with
Clang-13 and LLD-13:

    ld.lld: error: -plugin-opt=-: ld.lld: Unknown command line argument 
    '-stack-alignment=8'.  Try 'ld.lld --help'
    ld.lld: Did you mean '--stackrealign=8'?

It also appears that the '-code-model' flag is not necessary anymore starting
with LLVM-9 [2].

Drop '-code-model' and make '-stack-alignment' conditional on LLD < 13.0.0.

This is for linux-stable 5.12.
Another patch will be submitted for 5.13 shortly (unless there are objections).

This patch needs to be accepted into mainline first before it can go to 
stable so this line needs to be removed. The rest of the description 
looks good to me, good job on being descriptive!

As Greg's auto-response points out, there needs to be an actual

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

here in the patch, rather than just cc'ing stable@vger.kernel.org 
through email.

The actual patch itself looks good and I have verified that it fixes the 
build error. On the resend with the above fixed, please feel free to add:

Yep, just above the Link: tags would be perfect. Don't worry, you'll
get the hang of it.

Please include this additional context in v2:
```
These flags were necessary because these flags were not encoded in the
IR properly, so the link would restart optimizations without them. Now
there are properly encoded in the IR, and these flags exposing
implementation details are no longer necessary.
```
That way it doesn't sound like we're not using an 8B stack alignment
on x86; we very much are so; AMDGPU GPFs without it!

Cut the below paragraph out on v2.  Thanks for the patch and keep up
the good work!

Yes, this should be a v2 because the commit message changed. It would be 
considered a resend if nothing changed and the patch just needed to be 
picked up rather than re-reviewed.

Actually, give that LTO is still 'experimental' is it worth just
removing the flags and requiring clang-13 for LTO builds?
