Since LLVM commit 3787ee4, the '-stack-alignment' flag has been dropped [1], leading to the following error message when building a LTO kernel with Clang-13 and LLD-13:
ld.lld: error: -plugin-opt=-: ld.lld: Unknown command line argument '-stack-alignment=8'. Try 'ld.lld --help' ld.lld: Did you mean '--stackrealign=8'?
It also appears that the '-code-model' flag is not necessary anymore starting with LLVM-9 [2].
Drop '-code-model' and make '-stack-alignment' conditional on LLD < 13.0.0.
This is for linux-stable 5.12. Another patch will be submitted for 5.13 shortly (unless there are objections).

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.

This patch needs to be accepted into mainline first before it can go to stable so this line needs to be removed. The rest of the description looks good to me, good job on being descriptive!

As Greg's auto-response points out, there needs to be an actual
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
here in the patch, rather than just cc'ing stable@vger.kernel.org through email.
Signed-off-by: Tor Vic torvic9@mailbox.org
The actual patch itself looks good and I have verified that it fixes the build error. On the resend with the above fixed, please feel free to add:

Thank you for explaining this. I wasn't exactly sure how the procedure for stable was. Does this mean that the patch should be based on 5.13? I usually use Linus' tree mirrored at GitHub.

Yes I misinterpreted this in the sense of "put stable mail in CC". So if I get this right, I should NOT put stable email in CC, but only add the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag above the "Signed-off-by"?

Yep, just above the Link: tags would be perfect. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

Please include this additional context in v2: ``` These flags were necessary because these flags were not encoded in the IR properly, so the link would restart optimizations without them. Now there are properly encoded in the IR, and these flags exposing implementation details are no longer necessary. ``` That way it doesn't sound like we're not using an 8B stack alignment on x86; we very much are so; AMDGPU GPFs without it!
Cut the below paragraph out on v2. Thanks for the patch and keep up the good work!

Will do so. Does this have to be a v2 (with a "changes from v1" info) or just a resend? It is based on mainline now and the line numbers have changed.

Yes, this should be a v2 because the commit message changed. It would be considered a resend if nothing changed and the patch just needed to be picked up rather than re-reviewed.

Actually, give that LTO is still 'experimental' is it worth just removing the flags and requiring clang-13 for LTO builds?
