From 0aee6bec0f44dd344c2637632cb13828990524e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Desaulniers Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2023 10:05:48 -0800 Subject: Documentation/llvm: add Chimera Linux, Google and Meta datacenters 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.
