From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0a6de78cff600cb991f2a1b7ed376935871796a0 upstream. When building with a RISC-V kernel with DWARF5 debug info using clang and the GNU assembler, several instances of the following error appear: /tmp/vgettimeofday-48aa35.s:2963: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported Dumping the .s file reveals these .uleb128 directives come from .debug_loc and .debug_ranges: .Ldebug_loc0: .byte 4 # DW_LLE_offset_pair .uleb128 .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0 # starting offset .uleb128 .Ltmp1-.Lfunc_begin0 # ending offset .byte 1 # Loc expr size .byte 90 # DW_OP_reg10 .byte 0 # DW_LLE_end_of_list .Ldebug_ranges0: .byte 4 # DW_RLE_offset_pair .uleb128 .Ltmp6-.Lfunc_begin0 # starting offset .uleb128 .Ltmp27-.Lfunc_begin0 # ending offset .byte 4 # DW_RLE_offset_pair .uleb128 .Ltmp28-.Lfunc_begin0 # starting offset .uleb128 .Ltmp30-.Lfunc_begin0 # ending offset .byte 0 # DW_RLE_end_of_list There is an outstanding binutils issue to support a non-constant operand to .sleb128 and .uleb128 in GAS for RISC-V but there does not appear to be any movement on it, due to concerns over how it would work with linker relaxation. To avoid these build errors, prevent DWARF5 from being selected when using clang and an assembler that does not have support for these symbol deltas, which can be easily checked in Kconfig with as-instr plus the small test program from the dwz test suite from the binutils issue.
