Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/llvm: Add a note about prebuilt kernel.org toolchains
Date: Wed, 05 Apr 2023 13:44:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230405-korg-llvm-tc-docs-v1-1-420849b2e025@kernel.org> (raw)

I recently started uploading prebuilt stable versions of LLVM to
kernel.org, which should make building the kernel with LLVM more
accessible to maintainers and developers. Link them in the LLVM
documentation to make this more visible.
