I don't know, my recent tests are all without the LTO patch series,
so I don't get that one anyway.

I only get it while doing randconfig builds with my scripts, maybe
one out of three times, but don't ever get when rebuilding the
configs later. I have never figured out how to reproduce it reliably
other than with my randconfig script:

#!/bin/bash

RAND_DIR=build/rand
LOG_DIR=rand
PARALLEL="-j30" # number of CPUs on build system
MAKE="make O=${RAND_DIR} -sk ${PARALLEL}"
export CCACHE_DISABLE=1 # no point in ccache for random builds

buildone()
{
mkdir -p ${RAND_DIR} ${LOG_DIR}

eval `${MAKE} randconfig 2>&1 | grep KCONFIG_SEED=`
export KCONFIG_SEED
${MAKE} allrandom.config > /dev/null

rm -rf ${RAND_DIR}/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso
ID=${KCONFIG_SEED}
cp ${RAND_DIR}/.config ${LOG_DIR}/$ID-config

if ${MAKE} > ${LOG_DIR}/$ID-output 2>&1 ; then
mv ${LOG_DIR}/$ID-output ${LOG_DIR}/$ID-success
echo $ID `date` success
else
mv ${LOG_DIR}/$ID-output ${LOG_DIR}/$ID-failure
echo $ID `date` failed
${MAKE}
fi

${MAKE} clean
}

buildone
