Linux kernel source tree

Normally, invocations of $(HOSTCC) include $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS), which in turn includes $(HOSTLDFLAGS), which allows users to pass in their own flags when linking. However, the 'has_libelf' test does not, meaning that if a user requests a specific linker via HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=..., it is not respected and the build might error. For example, if a user building with clang wants to use all of the LLVM tools without any GNU tools, they might remove all of the GNU tools from their system or PATH then build with $ make HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 which says use all of the LLVM tools, the integrated assembler, and ld.lld for linking host executables. Without this change, the build will error because $(HOSTCC) uses its default linker, rather than the one requested via -fuse-ld=..., which is GNU ld in clang's case in a default configuration. error: Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel make[1]: *** [Makefile:1260: prepare-objtool] Error 1 Add $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS) to the 'has_libelf' test so that the linker choice is respected.

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.
