Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 828be9ff17 tools/rv: Fix Makefile compiler options for clang
commit f9b2c87105 upstream.

The following errors are showing up when compiling rv with clang:

 $ make HOSTCC=clang CC=clang LLVM_IAS=1
 [...]
  clang -O -g -DVERSION=\"6.8.0-rc1\" -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects
  -fexceptions -fstack-protector-strong -fasynchronous-unwind-tables
  -fstack-clash-protection  -Wall -Werror=format-security
  -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS
  -Wno-maybe-uninitialized $(pkg-config --cflags libtracefs)
  -I include   -c -o src/utils.o src/utils.c
  clang: warning: optimization flag '-ffat-lto-objects' is not supported [-Wignored-optimization-argument]
  warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-maybe-uninitialized'; did you mean '-Wno-uninitialized'? [-Wunknown-warning-option]
  1 warning generated.

  clang -o rv -ggdb  src/in_kernel.o src/rv.o src/trace.o src/utils.o $(pkg-config --libs libtracefs)
  src/in_kernel.o: file not recognized: file format not recognized
  clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
  make: *** [Makefile:110: rv] Error 1

Solve these issues by:
  - removing -ffat-lto-objects and -Wno-maybe-uninitialized if using clang
  - informing the linker about -flto=auto

RV: Runtime Verification

Runtime Verification (RV) is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that
complements classical exhaustive verification techniques (such as model
checking and theorem proving) with a more practical approach for
complex systems.

The rv tool is the interface for a collection of monitors that aim
analysing the logical and timing behavior of Linux.

Installing RV

RV depends on the following libraries and tools:

 - libtracefs
 - libtraceevent

It also depends on python3-docutils to compile man pages.

For development, we suggest the following steps for compiling rtla:

  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git
  $ cd libtraceevent/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git
  $ cd libtracefs/
  $ make
  $ sudo make install
  $ cd ..
  $ cd $rv_src
  $ make
  $ sudo make install

For further information, please see rv manpage and the kernel documentation:
