Re: [PATCH] kbuild: llvmlinux: Set appropriate compiler-flag for CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE

Other than you changing the commit comment, this *is* my patch.

I haven't upstreamed this patch yet because we are still characterizing its effects on other architectures.

Clang certainly doesn't require -Oz to be used to be able to boot for arm nor arm64. So the commit message isn't correct either.

Based on a patch of Behan Webster (see [1]).

CLANG (here: v3.7) requires '-Oz' as OptLevel to be set.

A Linux v4.3-rc1 kernel built fine with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y
and boots on bare metal.
This is a Ubuntu/precise AMD64 system.

Tested against Linux v4.3-rc1 and a refreshed llvmlinux patchset.
