[PATCH 4.14 077/105] raid6/ppc: Fix build for clang

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joel Stanley <joel@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e213574a449f7a57d4202c1869bbc7680b6b5521 upstream.

We cannot build these files with clang as it does not allow altivec
instructions in assembly when -msoft-float is passed.

This is a workaround until the issue is resolved in clang.

[nc: Use 'ifeq ($(cc-name),clang)' instead of 'ifdef CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG'
     because that config does not exist in 4.14; the Kconfig rewrite
     that added that config happened in 4.18]
