These are flags to be passed when linking proc macros for the Rust toolchain. If unset, it defaults to $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS). This is needed because the list of flags to link hostprogs is not necessarily the same as the list of flags used to link libmacros.so. When we build proc macros, we need the latter, not the former (e.g. when using a Rust compiler binary linked to a different C library than host programs). To distinguish between the two, introduce this new variable to stand out from KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS used to link other host progs.

Otherwise it would not be visible in `rust/Makefile`. - Removed "additional" from the documentation and commit message, since this actually replaces the other flags, unlike other cases. - Added example of use case to documentation and commit message. Thanks Alice for the details on what Google needs! - Instead of `HOSTLDFLAGS`, used `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` as the fallback to preserve the previous behavior as much as possible, as discussed with Alice/Yifan. Thus moved the variable down too (currently we do not modify `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` elsewhere) and avoided mentioning `HOSTLDFLAGS` directly in the documentation. - Fixed documentation header formatting. - Reworded slightly. - Miguel ] Tested-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: Alice Ryhl <aliceryhl@google.com> Reviewed-by: HONG Yifan <elsk@google.com> Acked-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241112184455.855133-1-ojeda@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org> |

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.
