lld, the LLVM linker, can link recent mainline Linux kernel. It provides faster link time compared with GNU linker[1]. This commit adds lld support to lkl for x86_64/i386 Linux host with clang. To build with lld, invoke command like below: make -C tools/lkl CC=clang LD=ld.lld [1] https://lld.llvm.org/ Signed-off-by: Akira Moroo <[email protected]>
