I'm trying to get up to speed with Linux kernel development and have a
few questions:
1. According to the book I'm reading (_Linux Kernel Development_ by
Robert Love) the current kernel's configuration can be found at
/proc/config.gz. But on Fedora, that's not the case, and it's in /boot/
as config-{VERSION}. How do I use this in the same way that I would have
used /proc/config.gz?
2. On the kernel-janitors mailing list I asked how to get started, and
was recommended to use clang to build the kernel and submit patches to
fix errors reported. Has anybody successfully built the kernel usin
clang packaged for Fedora? If so, how? I tried:
make cc=clang
and the build immediately failed on inline assembler code. I'd
appreciate a recommendation on how to approach building that way.
Thanks in advance.
