  When building with a RISC-V kernel with DWARF5 debug info using clang
and the GNU assembler, several instances of the following error appear:

  /tmp/vgettimeofday-48aa35.s:2963: Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported

Dumping the .s file reveals these .uleb128 directives come from
.debug_loc and .debug_ranges:

  .Ldebug_loc0:
          .byte   4                               # DW_LLE_offset_pair
          .uleb128 .Lfunc_begin0-.Lfunc_begin0    #   starting offset
          .uleb128 .Ltmp1-.Lfunc_begin0           #   ending offset
          .byte   1                               # Loc expr size
          .byte   90                              # DW_OP_reg10
          .byte   0                               # DW_LLE_end_of_list

  .Ldebug_ranges0:
          .byte   4                               # DW_RLE_offset_pair
          .uleb128 .Ltmp6-.Lfunc_begin0           #   starting offset
          .uleb128 .Ltmp27-.Lfunc_begin0          #   ending offset
          .byte   4                               # DW_RLE_offset_pair
          .uleb128 .Ltmp28-.Lfunc_begin0          #   starting offset
          .uleb128 .Ltmp30-.Lfunc_begin0          #   ending offset
          .byte   0                               # DW_RLE_end_of_list

There is an outstanding binutils issue to support a non-constant operand
to .sleb128 and .uleb128 in GAS for RISC-V but there does not appear to
be any movement on it, due to concerns over how it would work with
linker relaxation.

To avoid these build errors, prevent DWARF5 from being selected when
using clang and an assembler that does not have support for these symbol
deltas, which can be easily checked in Kconfig with as-instr plus the
small test program from the dwz test suite from the binutils issue.

v2:
    - Rebase on commit bb1435f3f575 ("Kconfig.debug: add toolchain
      checks for DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT") from the kbuild
      tree.
    - Limit CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128 dependency to GNU as. There
      is no point to applying this dependency to the integrated
      assembler because it will always pass.
    - Apply the CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128 dependency to
      CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT as well, due to the
      aforementioned kbuild change.
    - Move comment block to above CONFIG_AS_HAS_NON_CONST_LEB128, as the
      configuration is now used in two places.
    - Drop Conor's tested by, as the patch is different enough to
      potentially require new testing.

Thanks for keeping these LLVM_IAS=0 builds alive a little longer.  My
hope is the GNU binutils can relax their requirement for debug info
sections to improve support for DWARF v5.

Hey Sedat,

I actually didn't take a proper look at the v2 at all... I didn't realise
that Nathan dropped by T-b for v2 since he'd changed the patch enough to
feel that he should.

I'm not too worried about the removed T-b (espcially since Linus has
just merged Masahiro's PR containing this change).

Thanks though!
Conor.

hm, which kernels want this?

I could merge it for 6.1, which seems suitable.  If we want it
backported into earlier kernels then a Fixes: would be nice, to prevent
it from being ported back further than necessary.

Masahiro took this for 6.1 via the kbuild tree, it is now in mainline as
commit 0a6de78cff60 ("lib/Kconfig.debug: Add check for non-constant
.{s,u}leb128 support to DWARF5"). It does need to go to stable but it
needs a few prerequisite changes to cover all cases and I did not want
to try and describe those dependencies in the patch itself. I should be
able to handle the backports manually tomorrow.

Cheers,
Nathan
