[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/6] add clang compilation support for armv8a linuxapp

[Ashwin Sekhar T K]

This series of patches adds the clang compilation support for armv8a linuxapp.

Patch 1 is basically for removing the usage of assembly directive ".arch armv8-a+crc"
as this is not understood by clang. For removing these directives, compilation of
armv8a crc32 support is made conditional and is only done for machines which has
the crc extensions. Doing this avoids the need for having the ".arch armv8-a+crc"
directives in the code.

Patch 2 adds the arm64-armv8a-linuxapp-clang defconfig.

Patch 3, 4, 5 and 6 are for fixing the compilation errors/warnings.
