While building Linux stable rc 6.1 x86_64 with clang-17 failed due to following warnings / errors.
Regressions found on x86_64:
- build/clang-nightly-lkftconfig-kselftest
- build/clang-nightly-x86_64_defconfig
- build/clang-nightly-lkftconfig
- build/clang-lkftconfig
- build/clang-nightly-allmodconfig
Build errors:
ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:193: at least one side of the expression must be absolute make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
We see that with v5.10.y, v5.15.y, and v6.1.y when building ChromeOS images with clang/lld. There are additional problems with LTO and the built-in assembler. See https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/error-building-kernel-... for a summary.
As far as I can see none of those problems has been fixed in the upstream kernel.
