Chimera Linux is a Linux distribution from 2021 that builds its kernels with Clang. Google transitioned its data center fleet to run Clang built kernels in 2021, and Meta did so as well in 2022. Meta talked about this at LPC 2022 at a talk titled Kernel Live Patching at Scale. These were important milestones for building the kernel with Clang. Making note of them helps improve confidence in the project.

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 Restructured Text 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.
