powerpc: Don't add -mabi= flags when building with Clang
[ Upstream commit 465bfd9c44dea6b55962b5788a23ac87a467c923 ]
When building pseries_defconfig, building vdso32 errors out:
error: unknown target ABI 'elfv1'
This happens because -m32 in clang changes the target to 32-bit,
which does not allow the ABI to be changed.
Commit 4dc831aa8813 ("powerpc: Fix compiling a BE kernel with a
powerpc64le toolchain") added these flags to fix building big endian
kernels with a little endian GCC.
Clang doesn't need -mabi because the target triple controls the
default value. -mlittle-endian and -mbig-endian manipulate the triple
into either powerpc64-* or powerpc64le-*, which properly sets the
default ABI.
Adding a debug print out in the PPC64TargetInfo constructor after line
383 above shows this:
$ echo | ./clang -E --target=powerpc64-linux -mbig-endian -o /dev/null -
Default ABI: elfv1
$ echo | ./clang -E --target=powerpc64-linux -mlittle-endian -o /dev/null -
Default ABI: elfv2
$ echo | ./clang -E --target=powerpc64le-linux -mbig-endian -o /dev/null -
Default ABI: elfv1
$ echo | ./clang -E --target=powerpc64le-linux -mlittle-endian -o /dev/null -
Default ABI: elfv2
Don't specify -mabi when building with clang to avoid the build error
with -m32 and not change any code generation.
-mcall-aixdesc is not an implemented flag in clang so it can be safely
excluded as well, see commit 238abecde8ad ("powerpc: Don't use gcc
specific options on clang").
pseries_defconfig successfully builds after this patch and
powernv_defconfig and ppc44x_defconfig don't regress.
