We get constant feedback that the command line invocation of make is too long when compiling with LLVM. CROSS_COMPILE is helpful when a toolchain has a prefix of the target triple, or is an absolute path outside of $PATH. Since a Clang binary is generally multi-targeted, we can infer a given target from SRCARCH/ARCH. If CROSS_COMPILE is not set, simply set --target= for CLANG_FLAGS, KBUILD_CFLAGS, and KBUILD_AFLAGS based on $SRCARCH. Previously, we'd cross compile via: $ ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 Now: $ ARCH=arm64 make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 For native builds (not involving cross compilation) we now explicitly specify a target triple rather than rely on the implicit host triple.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
