[LLVMdev] Compile Linux Kernel with LLVM gcc frontend

[Patrick Flannery]

I can say that it does not for me,running x86_64, I have been generating errors for submission by testing on a number of gnu utilities starting with binutils.

Hi,

I am curious about if the current LLVM implementation can handle Linux
kernel (or any particular version of Linux kernel).  The first question I have
is that, how to create LLVM bytecode of Linux kernel using LLVM
gcc frontend. What changes should I make to the compiling process
Linux kernel?

Secondly, is it possible to compile the assembly code in Linux kernel into LLVM
bytecode? I noticed that llvm-as is for LLVM assembly code only. Is
there a LLVM assembly frontend for x86 assembly code?

Thanks

Haifeng
