    Or rather, it has uncovered yet another missing feature in clang! ;-)

    I have no idea, I've never used clang to build the kernel. Clang isn't
    really supported to build the arm64 kernel anyway (as you mention
    below), and working around clang deficiencies would mean that we leave
    with the workaround forever. I'd rather enable clang once it is at
    feature parity with GCC.

    Is that the only thing missing? Are you sure that there is no other way
    for clang to generate absolute addresses that will then lead to a crash?
    Again, I'd rather make sure we have the full picture.

    Thanks,
