Dear stable kernel maintainers, Please consider merging the following patch series'. They enable clang's integrated assembler to be used to assemble ARCH=arm kernels back to linux-4.19.y. This is analogous to previous series' sent for LLVM_IAS=1 support, but focused on ARM (32b). Below is the list of commits in each series, in the form For 5.10: v5.11-rc1 3c9f5708b7ae ("ARM: 9029/1: Make iwmmxt.S support Clang's integrated assembler") v5.11-rc1 0b1674638a5c ("ARM: assembler: introduce adr_l, ldr_l and str_l macros") v5.11-rc1 67e3f828bd4b ("ARM: efistub: replace adrl pseudo-op with adr_l macro invocation") For 5.4: v5.5-rc1 b4d0c0aad57a ("crypto: arm - use Kconfig based compiler checks for crypto opcodes") v5.5-rc1 9f1984c6ae30 ("ARM: 8929/1: use APSR_nzcv instead of r15 as mrc operand") v5.5-rc1 790756c7e022 ("ARM: 8933/1: replace Sun/Solaris style flag on section directive") v5.6-rc1 42d519e3d0c0 ("kbuild: Add support for 'as-instr' to be used in Kconfig files") v5.7-rc1 7548bf8c17d8 ("crypto: arm/ghash-ce - define fpu before fpu registers are referenced") v5.8-rc1 d85d5247885e ("ARM: OMAP2+: drop unnecessary adrl") v5.8-rc1 a780e485b576 ("ARM: 8971/1: replace the sole use of a symbol with its definition") v5.8-rc1 b744b43f79cc ("kbuild: add CONFIG_LD_IS_LLD") v5.9-rc1 a6c30873ee4a ("ARM: 8989/1: use .fpu assembler directives instead of assembler arguments") v5.9-rc1 ee440336e5ef ("ARM: 8990/1: use VFP assembler mnemonics in register load/store macros") v5.9-rc1 2cbd1cc3dcd3 ("ARM: 8991/1: use VFP assembler mnemonics if available") v5.10-rc1 54781938ec34 ("crypto: arm/sha256-neon - avoid ADRL pseudo instruction") v5.10-rc1 0f5e8323777b ("crypto: arm/sha512-neon - avoid ADRL pseudo instruction") v5.11-rc1 28187dc8ebd9 ("ARM: 9025/1: Kconfig: CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depends on !LD_IS_LLD") Then 3c9f5708b7ae from the 5.10 series is applied (0b1674638a5c and 67e3f828bd4b were not necessary). 28187dc8ebd9 had previously been picked up into 5.10 automatically. There was a minor conflict in 2cbd1cc3dcd3 due to 5.10 missing 8a90a3228b6a ("arm: Unplug KVM from the build system"). b744b43f79cc and 28187dc8ebd9 are more specifically for allmodconfig support than strictly LLVM_IAS=1. For 4.19: v4.20-rc1 d3c61619568c ("ARM: 8788/1: ftrace: remove old mcount support") v4.20-rc1 f9b58e8c7d03 ("ARM: 8800/1: use choice for kernel unwinders") v5.1-rc1 baf2df8e15be ("ARM: 8827/1: fix argument count to match macro definition") v5.1-rc1 32fdb046ac43 ("ARM: 8828/1: uaccess: use unified assembler language syntax") v5.1-rc1 eb7ff9023e4f ("ARM: 8829/1: spinlock: use unified assembler language syntax") v5.1-rc1 a216376add73 ("ARM: 8841/1: use unified assembler in macros") v5.1-rc1 e44fc38818ed ("ARM: 8844/1: use unified assembler in assembly files") v5.2-rc1 fe09d9c641f2 ("ARM: 8852/1: uaccess: use unified assembler language syntax") v5.2-rc1 3ab2b5fdd1d8 ("ARM: mvebu: drop unnecessary label") v5.2-rc1 969ad77c14ab ("ARM: mvebu: prefix coprocessor operand with p") v5.3-rc1 3fe1ee40b2a2 ("ARM: use arch_extension directive instead of arch argument") v5.4-rc3 3aa6d4abd4eb ("crypto: arm/aes-ce - build for v8 architecture explicitly") Then the entire 5.4 series is applied on top. 3fe1ee40b2a2 had a minor conflict due to 4.19 missing 2997520c2d4e ("ARM: exynos: Set MCPM as mandatory for Exynos542x/5800 SoCs"). I plan to send some follow ups; I need to do another pass to find what we may need in addition when setting CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y (non-default), there are two patches working their way through the ARM maintainer's tree needed for allmodconfig (https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=9061/1 and https://www.armlinux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=9062/1) and v4.19.y has one more issue I need to look into (https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1329) that has been cleaned up by a 7 patch series that landed in v5.2-rc1, but on first glance I suspect might be an assembler bug for us to fix. These series will be used in Android and ChromeOS. We're also ready to wire up CI coverage for LLVM_IAS=1 ARCH=arm for these branches. -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers
