From: WANG Xuerui <git@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, It's been a long time since the LoongArch port was upstreamed to LLVM, and there seems to be evidence that Linux was successfully built with Clang inside Loongson roughly around that time; however, a lot has changed since then, and the Linux/LoongArch codebase now makes use of more novel features that necessitate further work. (The enablement work is tracked at [1].) With this patch series and a patched LLVM/Clang/LLD ([2][3][4][5]), a working kernel can be built with `make LLVM=1`. Although currently support for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and CONFIG_MODULE is still TODO, we've decided to post the series early to hopefully reduce the rebase burden. The series contains several useful cleanups anyway. Regarding how to merge this: because only Patch 8 is outside arch/loongarch, I'd prefer the series to get merged through Huacai's tree. The series applies cleanly on top of next-20230622. Thanks go to the ClangBuiltLinux team, and LoongArch toolchain maintainers from Loongson and the community alike; without your help this would come much later, if at all (my free time has been steadily dwindling this year already). Your comments are welcome!
