Perhaps it would be better if this were

   ifeq ($(CC),clang)

as that would catch both CC=clang and LLVM=1 users? I haven't tested
this though.

That exact fix wouldn't quite work for the LLVM=1 case, because there,
CC is set to a horrible long mess, like this:

    CC = clang --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu -fintegrated-as

...but I see what you mean. It's not covering the CC=clang case.


Hmmm, now that I am actually looking at tools/testing/selftests/lib.mk,
it seems like CC is only set to clang when $(LLVM) is set, so keeping it
the way it is now is probably best. Sorry about that, I am not too
familiar with the tools build system.


That's true, and the patch here was admittedly only attempting to fix
the LLVM=1 case. However, I recall someone is building these kselftests
via "make CC=clang", which caught me by surprise, so I suppose that
should be fixed too. Maybe all of these checks (there are a few other
patches, but none merged yet) should be effectively:

    "if LLVM==1 or CC==clang, then apply the clang fix(es)"
	

Additionally, I think it would be good to mention that
-Wno-address-of-packed-member is GCC's default, whereas Clang enables
-Waddress-of-packed-member by default.

OK, I'll add that to a short comment nearby.
