sys-fs/zfs-kmod build failed whith kernel, which compiled with clang.
with kernel, which compiled with gcc sys-fs/zfs-kmod builds and installs without any problem.

Please attach the logs instead for posterity, thanks (compress if it complains about being too large).
Comment 2 Nit Proc 2021-09-21 17:28:31 UTC
Does this problem appear on ubuntu 20.04 LTS?

Please also include the missing build.log.

Probably related to https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/22339.

This isn't a helpful comment, please keep things like this off our bug tracker. Thanks.

Comment 7 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2021-10-07 05:59:36 UTC
I'll check correct way of doing it. the PR version completely broke compilation under some configurations and broke cross compilation.
Comment 8 Peter Levine 2022-01-31 07:20:58 UTC
Mine for good measure: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/13046

Tested working with sys-fs/zfs-kmod-9999 against sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.16.3. Haven't tested with cross-compiling, though.
Comment 9 Peter Levine 2022-02-11 04:52:31 UTC
The PR was accepted upstream with https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/commit/b66140c6ad481cb13e685465c6a732f7f2b9dc77.

There are now three environment variables that can be set to affect the module build.  LINUX_CC is passed as $(CC), LINUX_LD as $(LD), and LINUX_LLVM as $(LLVM).  A trivial example of how it can be used, at the end of pkg_setup():

> if tc-is-clang; then
> 	ewarn "Warning: building ${PN} with a clang is experimental."
> 	export KERNEL_CC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)"
> 
> 	if tc-ld-is-lld; then
> 		export KERNEL_LD="$(tc-getBUILD_LD)"
> 
> 		KERNEL_LLVM=1
> 		for tool in AR NM STRIP OBJCOPY READELF; do
> 			[[ $(tc-getBUILD_${tool}) != *llvm-${tool,,} ]] && KERNEL_LLVM=0
> 		done
> 		export KERNEL_LLVM

Oh, I'd forgot this was included in 2.1.3. Let's chuck it in.

    sys-fs/zfs-kmod: add Clang logic
    
    The needed patch made its way upstream but we need
    a small amount of logic in the ebuild to accommodate
    it fully.

Comment 12 Ionen Wolkens gentoo-dev 2022-03-11 15:16:29 UTC
Optimally feel linux-info/mod would need a *get_kernelCC / *set_kernel_toolchain or something like that (not that I've had interest in looking into this).

That aside, you can skip the clang logic if `linux_chkconfig_present CC_IS_CLANG` is false, meaning the kernel wasn't built with clang. There's also LD_IS_LLD and LTO_CLANG_THIN which may be useful (the latter is because a thinlto kernel cause sandbox violations with cache last I tried it, but been a while).

nvidia-drivers has some lazy logic which ignores tc-is-clang, not perfect but given it always failed on a clang-built kernel otherwise felt harmless to add.

How ideally should one handle a case in which `linux_chkconfig_present CC_IS_CLANG` returns true but $(tc-getBUILD_CC) is gcc?  die? Assume that "clang" corresponds to the executable that $(tc-getBUILD_CC) would have been at the time of the kernel build and pass that?  Parse 'linux_chkconfig_present CLANG_VERSION' for a major version number and pass "clang-$MAJ_VER"?

I meant parse $(linux_chkconfig_string CLANG_VERSION)

    sys-fs/zfs-kmod: further linux-mod-r1 adaptations & style tweaks
    
    Just meant to integrate MODULES_KERNEL_MIN+MAX ended up making quick
    changes to my liking while at it. Thus the separate commit (also is
    barely tested changes). Probably can still use polishing.
    
    MAX is non-fatal, but gives a very large warning that is hard to miss,
    imo removing the need for a hidden override variable. Made optional
    for dist-kernel through another USE so people can still get automated
    rebuilds if they e.g. patched it (pondered adding a similar mechanism
    builtin the eclass but believe too few ebuilds really need this and
    don't want to encourage it globally unless really needed).
    
    wrt <virtual/dist-kernel, haven't looked into the history of it but
    right now can't quite see why it need to be BDEPEND, regardless of it
    existing in the eclass portage will have to respect the extra bound in
    RDEPEND as this isn't a || ( ). Or at least, it's not trying to upgrade
    my kernel here and I get the usual "WARNING:" that it can't upgrade
    (on a side-note, don't need to repeat the := given the eclass' is
    still valid).
    
    (sam: preserved ionen's original commit msg for posterity but obviously
    tested it and reviewed it since. We discussed the cap situation and concluded
    it's probably best for now to stick with it as-is (in this commit) given +dist-kernel-cap
    handles it for most cases, and if not using dist-kernel, you may not want things
    managed for you anyway.)
