One Line Summary

A talk on compiling the Linux kernel with Clang/LLVM.

Abstract

In 2017 we started recommending to Android vendors and OEMs that we’d like to transition Android’s toolchain to be entirely Clang/LLVM based. We plan to hold a discussion on what this means and looks like for building the Linux kernel. Our patch-set, common issues, and benefits will be reviewed.
