[PATCH] kbuild: llvmlinux: Set appropriate compiler-flag for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

From: Sedat Dilek
Date: Mon Sep 14 2015 - 23:20:13 EST


Based on a patch of Behan Webster (see [1]).

CLANG (here: v3.7) requires '-Oz' as OptLevel to be set.

A Linux v4.3-rc1 kernel built fine with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
and boots on bare metal.
This is a Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system.

Tested against Linux v4.3-rc1 and a refreshed llvmlinux patchset.
