You can pass ``LLVM_IAS=1`` to enable it. +Supported Architectures +----------------------- + +LLVM does not target all of the architectures that Linux supports and +just because a target is supported in LLVM does not mean that the kernel +will build or work without any issues. Below is a general summary of +architectures that currently work with ``CC=clang`` or ``LLVM=1``. Level +of support corresponds to "S" values in the MAINTAINERS files. If an +architecture is not present, it either means that LLVM does not target +it or there are known issues. Using the latest stable version of LLVM or +even the development tree will generally yield the best results. +An architecture's ``defconfig`` is generally expected to work well, +certain configurations may have problems that have not been uncovered +yet.
