From aec6c60a01d3a3170242d6a99372a388e1136dc6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2021 08:35:42 +0900 Subject: kbuild: check the minimum compiler version in Kconfig Paul Gortmaker reported a regression in the GCC version check. [1] If you use GCC 4.8, the build breaks before showing the error message "error Sorry, your version of GCC is too old - please use 4.9 or newer." I do not want to apply his fix-up since it implies we would not be able to remove any cc-option test. Anyway, I admit checking the GCC version in is too late. Almost at the same time, Linus also suggested to move the compiler version error to Kconfig time. [2] I unified the two similar scripts, gcc-version.sh and clang-version.sh into cc-version.sh. The old scripts invoked the compiler multiple times (3 times for gcc-version.sh, 4 times for clang-version.sh). I refactored the code so the new one invokes the compiler just once, and also tried my best to use shell-builtin commands where possible. The new script runs faster. $ time ./scripts/clang-version.sh clang 120000 real 0m0.029s user 0m0.012s sys 0m0.021s $ time ./scripts/cc-version.sh clang Clang 120000 real 0m0.009s user 0m0.006s sys 0m0.004s cc-version.sh also shows an error message if the compiler is too old: $ make defconfig CC=clang-9 *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig' *** *** Compiler is too old. *** Your Clang version: 9.0.1 *** Minimum Clang version: 10.0.1 *** scripts/Kconfig.include:46: Sorry, this compiler is not supported. make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:81: defconfig] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:602: defconfig] Error 2 The new script takes care of ICC because we have although I am not sure if building the kernel with ICC is well-supported.
