Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: error out if compiling ARMv6 using Clang before 8.0
Date:   Mon, 15 Oct 2018 20:55:00 +0200
Message-Id: <20181015185500.679-1-stefan@agner.ch>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The kernel passes the ArmV6K architecture to the compiler when
using the multi platform selection and enabling ARMv6. Clang
older than version 8.0 emit assembly with an non-existing CPU,
which then makes the GNU assembler fail. Warn users when
compiling ARMv6 using Clang before 8.0.
