使用llvm 编译最新的linux 内核(LoongArch)

1. 准备交叉工具链

llvm 使用了最新的llvm-17, 编译方法见:编译LoongArch的llvm交叉工具链

2. 下载内核源码

从https://www.kernel.org/ 下载最新的版本(linux-next) ，本次用的是linux 6.6rc1

3. 编译内核

$ cd linux-next
$ export ARCH=loongarch

$ make O=./build_llvm LLVM=1 loongson3_defconfig
$ make O=./build_llvm LLVM=1 -j4
make[1]: 进入目录“/home/loongson/work/oh/kernel/linux-next-next-20230906/build_llvm”
  GEN     Makefile
  CALL    ../scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  AS      arch/loongarch/kernel/genex.o
<instantiation>:11:9: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections
 .dword 768b-766b
        ^
<instantiation>:11:9: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections                                                              
 .dword 768b-766b
        ^
<instantiation>:11:9: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections                                                              
 .dword 768b-766b
        ^
<instantiation>:11:9: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections 

出现上面的错误是因为不relocalable 特性，修改内核配置 关掉CONFIG_RELOCATABLE

CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n   

$ make O=./build_llvm LLVM=1 -j4

../arch/loongarch/include/asm/percpu.h:20:4: error: compiler support for the model attribute is necessary when a recent assembler is used
   20 | #  error compiler support for the model attribute is necessary when a recent assembler is used
      |    ^

出现上面的错误是因为不module 也还不支持，修改内核配置 关掉CONFIG_MODULES

 CONFIG_MODULES=n
