Linux kernel source tree
58506612bf
Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> says:
Eric reported that builds of LLVM with [1] (close to tip of tree) have
CONFIG_AS_HAS_OPTION_ARCH=n because the test for expected failure on
invalid input has started succeeding.
This Kconfig test was added because '.option arch' only causes an
assembler warning when it is unsupported, rather than a hard error,
which is what users of as-instr expect when something is unsupported.
This can be resolved by turning assembler warnings into errors with
'-Wa,--fatal-warnings' like we do with the compiler with '-Werror',
which is what the first patch does. The second patch removes the invalid
test, as the valid test is good enough with fatal warnings.
I have diffed several configurations for the different architectures
that use as-instr and I have found no issues.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
