Thanks for taking care Yonghong - hope this is your first name, if not
I am sorry.
In case of mixing my first and last name you will make me female -
Dilek is a Turkish female first name :-).
So, in some cultures you need to be careful.
Anyway... back to business and facts.
Out of frustration I killed my last build via `make distclean`.
The whole day I tested diverse combination of GCC-10 and LLVM-12
together with BTF Kconfigs, selfmade pahole, etc.
I will do ne run with some little changes:
#1: Pass LLVM_IAS=1 to make (means use Clang's Integrated ASsembler -
as per Nick this leads to the same error - should be unrelated)
#2: I did: DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED y -> n
#2 I did in case you need vmlinux and I have to upload - I will
compress the resulting vmlinux with ZSTD.
You need vmlinux or .tmp_vmlinux.btf file?
Nick was not allowed from his company to download from a Dropbox link.
So, as an alternative I can offer GoogleDrive...
...or bomb into your INBOX :-).
Now, why I CCed Masahiro:
In case of ERRORs when running `scripts/link-vmlinux.sh` above files
will be removed.
Last, I found a hack to bypass this - means to keep these files (I
need to check old emails).
Masahiro, you see a possibility to have a way to keep these files in
case of ERRORs without doing hackery?
