Hello 👋

I am a Linux kernel developer focused on improving compatibility with LLVM and clang as part of ClangBuiltLinux. I mostly blog about my work and tips and tricks that I discover.

August 2024 ClangBuiltLinux Work

Linux kernel patches Miscellaneous fixes and improvements: These are fixes and improvements that don’t fit into a particular category but are important to ClangBuiltLinux. hexagon: Disable constant extender optimization for LLVM prior to 19.1.0 (v1) ACPI: platform-profile: Fix CFI violation when accessing sysfs files (v1) Warning fixes: These are patches to fix various warnings that appear with LLVM. I used to go into detail about the different warnings and what they mean, but the important takeaway for this section is that the kernel should build warning free, as all developers should be using CONFIG_WERROR, which will turn these all into failures. Maybe these should be in the build failures section… ...

2023 ClangBuiltLinux Retrospective

Just like I did last year, I want to do a yearly report/retrospective for 2023 to look at what I (and the whole ClangBuiltLinux team in some cases) accomplished. I do monthly reports but looking at a high level across the year helps put things into perspective and drive improvements going into the new year. Linux kernel This year, I had 129 commits accepted into maintainer trees (not all will be merged into mainline in 2023 but they were written and added in maintainer trees in 2023). They can be viewed on the web or by running the following command in an up-to-date Linux repository locally: ...
