[PATCH] bpftool, selftests/hid/bpf: fix 29 clang warnings
Posted by John Hubbard 1 year, 9 months ago 
When building either tools/bpf/bpftool, or tools/testing/selftests/hid,
(the same Makefile is used for these), clang generates many instances of
a warning that is useless here:

    "clang: warning: -lLLVM-17: 'linker' input unused"

Silence this in both locations, by disabling that warning when building
with clang.

Thanks! If possible, I'd rather keep the warning enabled, and fix the
command line instead. Looking at the error and the Makefile, we may not 
need the -lLLVM<version> in the CFLAGS at all, but only in $(LIBS). On
my setup, I can build successfully, without the warnings, with the
following patch:

------
diff --git a/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile b/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile
index b67454b45a49..dfa4f1bebbb3 100644
--- a/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile
+++ b/tools/bpf/bpftool/Makefile
@@ -147,7 +147,7 @@ ifeq ($(feature-llvm),1)
   # If LLVM is available, use it for JIT disassembly
   CFLAGS  += -DHAVE_LLVM_SUPPORT
   LLVM_CONFIG_LIB_COMPONENTS := mcdisassembler all-targets
-  CFLAGS  += $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --cflags --libs $(LLVM_CONFIG_LIB_COMPONENTS))
+  CFLAGS  += $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --cflags)
   LIBS    += $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --libs $(LLVM_CONFIG_LIB_COMPONENTS))
   ifeq ($(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --shared-mode),static)
     LIBS += $(shell $(LLVM_CONFIG) --system-libs $(LLVM_CONFIG_LIB_COMPONENTS))
------

Could you please check whether that works on your side, too?

Yes, that works, and of course that's much better. Please let me
know if you prefer me to post a v2 with that, or if you plan
on sending it yourself?
