Re: [PATCH] powerpc: xor_vmx: Add '-mhard-float' to CFLAGS

From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
Date: 2024-03-05 22:43:18
Also in: linux-patches, llvm, stable

Ping? We have been applying this in our CI since it was sent, it would
be nice to have this upstream soon so it can start filtering through the
stable trees.

arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o is built with '-msoft-float' (from the main
powerpc Makefile) and '-maltivec' (from its CFLAGS), which causes an
error when building with clang after a recent change in main:

  error: option '-msoft-float' cannot be specified with '-maltivec'
  make[6]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:243: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o] Error 1

Explicitly add '-mhard-float' before '-maltivec' in xor_vmx.o's CFLAGS
to override the previous inclusion of '-msoft-float' (as the last option
wins), which matches how other areas of the kernel use '-maltivec', such
as AMDGPU.
