commit d2f8ae0e4c upstream.
syncconfig is responsible for keeping auto.conf up-to-date, so if it
fails for any reason, the build must be terminated immediately.
However, since commit 9390dff66a ("kbuild: invoke syncconfig if
include/config/auto.conf.cmd is missing"), Kbuild continues running
even after syncconfig fails.
You can confirm this by intentionally making syncconfig error out:
# diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c b/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c
# index 08ba146..307b9de 100644
# --- a/scripts/kconfig/confdata.c

# int i;
#

# + return 1;

# return 0;
Then, syncconfig fails, but Make would not stop:
$ make -s mrproper allyesconfig defconfig
$ make
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig

The reason is in the behavior of a pattern rule with multi-targets.
%/auto.conf %/auto.conf.cmd %/tristate.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG)
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile syncconfig
GNU Make knows this rule is responsible for making all the three files
simultaneously. As far as examined, auto.conf.cmd is the target in
question when this rule is invoked. It is probably because auto.conf.cmd
is included below the inclusion of auto.conf.
The inclusion of auto.conf is mandatory, while that of auto.conf.cmd
is optional. GNU Make does not care about the failure in the process
of updating optional include files.
I filed this issue (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56301) in case this
behavior could be improved somehow in future releases of GNU Make.
Anyway, it is quite easy to fix our Makefile.
Given that auto.conf is already a mandatory include file, there is no
reason to stick auto.conf.cmd optional. Make it mandatory as well.

commit ad15006cc7 upstream.
This causes an issue when trying to build with `make LD=ld.lld` if
ld.lld and the rest of your cross tools aren't in the same directory
(ex. /usr/local/bin) (as is the case for Android's build system), as the
GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR then gets set based on `which $(LD)` which will point
where LLVM tools are, not GCC/binutils tools are located.
Instead, select the GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR based on another tool provided by
binutils for which LLVM does not provide a substitute for, such as
elfedit.

[ Upstream commit 9390dff66a ]
If include/config/auto.conf.cmd is lost for some reasons, it is not
self-healing, so the top Makefile misses to run syncconfig.
Move include/config/auto.conf.cmd to the target side.
I used a pattern rule instead of a normal rule here although it is
a bit gross.
If the rule were written with a normal rule like this,
include/config/auto.conf \
include/config/auto.conf.cmd \
include/config/tristate.conf: $(KCONFIG_CONFIG)
$(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile syncconfig
... syncconfig would be executed per target.
Using a pattern rule makes sure that syncconfig is executed just once
because Make assumes the recipe will create all of the targets.
Here is a quote from the GNU Make manual [1]:
"Pattern rules may have more than one target. Unlike normal rules,
this does not act as many different rules with the same prerequisites
and recipe. If a pattern rule has multiple targets, make knows that
the rule's recipe is responsible for making all of the targets. The
recipe is executed only once to make all the targets. When searching
for a pattern rule to match a target, the target patterns of a rule
other than the one that matches the target in need of a rule are
incidental: make worries only about giving a recipe and prerequisites
to the file presently in question. However, when this file's recipe is
run, the other targets are marked as having been updated themselves."

commit dbe27a002e upstream.
We are still a way off the Clang's integrated assembler support for
the kernel. Hence, -no-integrated-as is mandatory to build the kernel
with Clang. If you had an ancient version of Clang that does not
recognize this option, you would not be able to compile the kernel
anyway.
