[PATCH v3] kbuild: Add support to generate LLVM bitcode files

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

From: VinÃcius Tinti <viniciustinti@xxxxxxxxx>

Add rules to kbuild in order to generate LLVM bitcode files with the .ll
extension when using clang.

  # from c code
  CC=clang make kernel/pid.ll

  # from asm code
  CC=clang make arch/x86/kernel/preempt.ll
