Commit Message

Nathan Chancellor Jan. 12, 2023, 3:05 a.m. UTC
When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that KBUILD_AFLAGS contains a linker flag, which will be
used:

  clang: error: -Wl,-a32: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This was likely supposed to be '-Wa,-a$(BITS)'. However, this change is
unnecessary, as all supported versions of clang and gcc will pass '-a64'
or '-a32' to GNU as based on the value of '-m'; the behavior of the
latest stable release of the oldest supported major version of each
compiler is shown below and each compiler's latest release exhibits the
same behavior (GCC 12.2.0 and Clang 15.0.6).

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version | head -1
  powerpc64-linux-gcc (GCC) 5.5.0

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m64 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '
  .../as -a64 -mppc64 -many -mbig -o /dev/null /tmp/cctwuBzZ.s

  $ powerpc64-linux-gcc -m32 -### -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep 'as '
  .../as -a32 -mppc -many -mbig -o /dev/null /tmp/ccaZP4mF.sg

  $ clang --version | head -1
  Ubuntu clang version 11.1.0-++20211011094159+1fdec59bffc1-1~exp1~20211011214622.5

  $ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \
    -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep gnu-as
   "/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a64" "-mppc64" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-80267c.s"

  $ clang --target=powerpc64-linux-gnu -fno-integrated-as -m64 -### \
    -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o /dev/null /dev/null &| grep gnu-as
   "/usr/bin/powerpc64-linux-gnu-as" "-a32" "-mppc" "-many" "-o" "/dev/null" "/tmp/null-ab8f8d.s"

Remove this flag altogether to avoid future issues.

Should that say "unused" ?

Nathan, shall I fix it up locally?
(it will change the commit hash, though.)

Yes please, if you would not mind. Sorry about that and thank you for
spotting it Michael!

Since you have to rebase to fix it, you can include Michael's acks?

Cheers,
