5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Masahiro Yamada masahiroy@kernel.org
commit feb843a469fb0ab00d2d23cfb9bcc379791011bb upstream.
When preprocessing arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S, the target triple is not passed to $(CPP) because we add it only to KBUILD_{C,A}FLAGS.
As a result, the linker script is preprocessed with predefined macros for the build host instead of the target.
Assuming you use an x86 build machine, compare the following:
$ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null $ clang -dM -E -x c /dev/null -target aarch64-linux-gnu
There is no actual problem presumably because our linker scripts do not rely on such predefined macros, but it is better to define correct ones.
Move $(CLANG_FLAGS) to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, so that all *.c, *.S, *.lds.S will be processed with the proper target triple.
[Note] After the patch submission, we got an actual problem that needs this commit. (CBL issue 1859)
