The makefile is a bit messy and there are a few ways it could probably be reorganised to reduce ifdefs. But I don't think this is the right place to do that.

You mean that LLVM does not *allow* you to select a different ABI, or different ABI options, you always have to use the default. (Everything else you say is true for GCC as well). (-mabi= does not set a "target ABI", fwiw, it is more subtle; please see the documentation. Unless LLVM is incompatible in that respect as well?) Segher

(Everything > else you say is true for GCC as well). I need to improve the wording of the commit message as it is really that clang does not allow a different ABI to be selected for 32-bit PowerPC, as the setABI function is not overridden and it defaults to false. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-9.0.0-rc2/clang/include/clang/Basic/TargetInfo.h#L1073-L1078 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-9.0.0-rc2/clang/lib/Basic/Targets/PPC.h#L327-L365 GCC appears to just silently ignores this flag (I think it is the SUBSUBTARGET_OVERRIDE_OPTIONS macro in gcc/config/rs6000/linux64.h). It can be changed for 64-bit PowerPC it seems but it doesn't need to be with clang because everything is set properly internally (I'll find a better way to clearly word that as I am sure I'm not quite getting that subtlety right). > (-mabi= does not set a "target ABI", fwiw, it is more subtle; please see > the documentation. Unless LLVM is incompatible in that respect as well?) Are you referring to the error message? I suppose I could file an LLVM bug report on that but that message applies to all of the '-mabi=' options, which may refer to a target ABI. Cheers, Nathan

What flag? -mabi=elfv[12]? (Only irrelevant things are ever ignored; otherwise, please do a bug report). > It can be changed for 64-bit PowerPC it seems but it doesn't need to be > with clang because everything is set properly internally (I'll find a > better way to clearly word that as I am sure I'm not quite getting that > subtlety right). You can have elfv2 on BE, and e.g. the sysv ABI on LE. Neither of those is tested a lot. > > (-mabi= does not set a "target ABI", fwiw, it is more subtle; please see > > the documentation.

Yup. > I suppose I could file an LLVM > bug report on that but that message applies to all of the '-mabi=' > options, which may refer to a target ABI. That depends on what you call "an ABI", I guess. You can call any ABI variant a separate ABI: you'll have to rebuild all of userland. You can also says ELFv1 and ELFv2 are pretty much the same thing, which is true as well. The way -mabi= is defined is the latter: '-mabi=ABI-TYPE' Extend the current ABI with a particular extension, or remove such extension. Valid values are 'altivec', 'no-altivec', 'ibmlongdouble', 'ieeelongdouble', 'elfv1', 'elfv2'. Segher

This is the default ABI for big-endian PowerPC 64-bit Linux. Overriding the default ABI requires special system support and is likely to fail in spectacular ways. -mabi=elfv2: Change the current ABI to use the ELFv2 ABI. This is the default ABI for little-endian PowerPC 64-bit Linux. Overriding the default ABI requires special system support and is likely to fail in spectacular ways. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options.html#index-mabi_003delfv1 Thinking about this a little bit more, I think this patch is correct in the case that clang is cross compiling because the target triple will always be specified (so the default ABI doesn't need to be changed). However, I am not sure how native compiling would be affected by this change; in theory, if someone was on a little endian system and wanted to build a big endian kernel, they would probably need -mabi=elfv1 like GCC would but I don't have any real way to test this nor am I sure that anyone actually natively compiles PowerPC kernels with clang. It's probably not worrying about at this point so I'll just move forward with a v2 rewording the commit message. Cheers, Nathan

When building pseries_defconfig, building vdso32 errors out: error: unknown target ABI 'elfv1' Commit 4dc831aa8813 ("powerpc: Fix compiling a BE kernel with a powerpc64le toolchain") added these flags to fix building GCC but clang is multitargeted and does not need these flags. The ABI is properly set based on the target triple, which is derived from CROSS_COMPILE. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/llvmorg-9.0.0-rc2/clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/Clang.cpp#L1782-L1804 -mcall-aixdesc is not an implemented flag in clang so it can be safely excluded as well, see commit 238abecde8ad ("powerpc: Don't use gcc specific options on clang"). pseries_defconfig successfully builds after this patch and powernv_defconfig and ppc44x_defconfig don't regress.
