    Documentation/llvm: Add a section about supported architectures · ed4e9e61
    Nathan Chancellor 提交于
    The most common question around building the Linux kernel with clang is
    "does it work?" and the answer has always been "it depends on your
    architecture, configuration, and LLVM version" with no hard answers for
    users wanting to experiment. LLVM support has significantly improved
    over the past couple of years, resulting in more architectures and
    configurations supported, and continuous integration has made it easier
    to see what works and what does not.
    
    Add a section that goes over what architectures are supported in the
    current kernel version, how they should be built (with just clang or the
    LLVM utilities as well), and the level of support they receive. This
    will make it easier for people to try out building their kernel with
    LLVM and reporting issues that come about from it.
