[PATCH] kbuild: clang: Support building UM with SUBARCH=i386

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Mar 03 2025 - 16:52:52 EST


The UM builds distinguish i386 from x86_64 via SUBARCH, but we don't
support building i386 directly with Clang. To make SUBARCH work for
i386 UM, we need to explicitly test for it.

This lets me run i386 KUnit tests with Clang:

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run \
--make_options LLVM=1 \
--make_options SUBARCH=i386
...

Fixes: c7500c1b53bf ("um: Allow builds with Clang")

I could not find a cleaner way to do this without hardcoding a test
for i386 UM. Does anyone see a more sane way to accomplish this? The
comment above the CLANG_TARGET_FLAGS seems like it can't be done with
UM's Makefile...
