Jean-Philippe Brucker says: ==================== Since v1 [1], I added Quentin's acks and applied Andrii's suggestions: * Pass CFLAGS to libbpf link in patch 3 * Substitute CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS whole in HOST_CFLAGS to avoid accidents, patch 4 Add support for cross-building BPF tools and selftests with clang, by passing LLVM=1 or CC=clang to make, as well as CROSS_COMPILE. A single clang toolchain can generate binaries for multiple architectures, so instead of having prefixes such as aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc, clang uses the -target parameter: `clang -target aarch64-linux-gnu'. Patch 1 adds the parameter in Makefile.include so tools can easily support this. Patch 2 prepares for the libbpf change from patch 3 (keep building resolve_btfids's libbpf in the host arch, when cross-building the kernel with clang). Patches 3-6 enable cross-building BPF tools with clang.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
