How to Make the Unified Arch - X86 - Tree of the Kernel Work with Clang

Explore the progress and challenges of the LLVM Linux project's x86_64 implementation in this 29-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Gain insights into resolved issues, current roadblocks, and strategies for accelerating upstream integration into the Linux Kernel and LLVM/Clang. Delve into specific topics such as broken getUserInline assembly, global registers, boot code, builtin constants, and named registers. Participate in a Q&A session to further discuss problems and potential solutions for making the unified arch/x86/ tree of the Kernel work with Clang.
