"ClangBuiltLinux: What's Next?"

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

2020 drives ClangBuiltLinux from experiments into production: over a hundred contributors and Google moves its fleet to Clang-built kernels; ASM goto with outputs lands so complex inline-asm works; LTO, ShadowCallStack, PGO/AutoFDO deploy across ChromeOS and data centers; CI integration with KernelCI and GitHub Actions catches regressions. Ongoing work targets compile-time performance (lazy-parsing, macro reduction), broader ISA support (S390, 68k, CSKY), and post-link layout via Bolt/Propeller plus kernel sanitizers like KASAN/KUBSAN/KCSAN.
