Thanks for the patch. Indeed llvm.org/git/llvm has been deprecated. We have recommended to use llvm-project at kernel/Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst.

Could you use the same scripts in the above link here? There are different ways to build llvm/clang, I just want to be consistent between bpf_devel_QA.rst and there.
I am also thinking whether we should just provide a link here to bpf_devel_QA.rst. Looking at samples/bpf/README.rst, it all contains direct commands for people to build/test, so copy-pasting the llvm build scripts here should be fine.
