[PATCH 2/4] kbuild: collect minimum tool versions into scripts/tool-version.sh

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Wed Mar 03 2021 - 14:10:27 EST


The kernel build uses various tools, many of which are provided by the
same software suite, for example, LLVM and Binutils.

When we raise the minimal version of Clang/LLVM, we need to update
clang_min_version in scripts/cc-version.sh and also lld_min_version in
scripts/ld-version.sh.

In fact, Kbuild can handle CC=clang and LD=ld.lld independently, and we
could manage their minimal version separately, but it does not make
much sense.

Make scripts/tool-version.sh a central place of minimum tool versions
so that we do not need to touch multiple files.

This script prints the minimal version of the given tool.

$ scripts/tool-version.sh gcc
4.9.0
$ scripts/tool-version.sh llvm
10.0.1
$ scripts/tool-version.sh binutils
2.23.0
$ scripts/tool-version.sh foo
foo: unknown tool
