Thomas Weißschuh dfc1b168a8 kbuild: userprogs: use correct lld when linking through clang
The userprog infrastructure links objects files through $(CC).
Either explicitly by manually calling $(CC) on multiple object files or
implicitly by directly compiling a source file to an executable.
The documentation at Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst indicates that ld.lld
would be used for linking if LLVM=1 is specified.
However clang instead will use either a globally installed cross linker
from $PATH called ${target}-ld or fall back to the system linker, which
probably does not support crosslinking.
For the normal kernel build this is not an issue because the linker is
always executed directly, without the compiler being involved.

Explicitly pass --ld-path to clang so $(LD) is respected.
As clang 13.0.1 is required to build the kernel, this option is available.

Fixes: 7f3a59db27 ("kbuild: add infrastructure to build userspace programs")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # needs wrapping in $(cc-option) for < 6.9

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
