Cover letter for v3:

Hi,

Dave Hansen, Muhammad Usama Anjum, here is the combined series that we
discussed yesterday [1].

As I mentioned then, this is a bit intrusive--but no more than
necessary, IMHO. Specifically, it moves some clang-un-inlineable things
out to "pure" assembly code files.

I've tested this by building with clang, then running each binary on my
x86_64 test system with today's 6.10-rc1, and comparing the console and
dmesg output to a gcc-based build without these patches applied. Aside
from timestamps and virtual addresses, it looks identical.

Earlier cover letter:

Just a bunch of build and warnings fixes that show up when building with
clang. Some of these depend on each other, so I'm sending them as a
series.

Changes since v2:

1) Dropped my test_FISTTP.c patch, and picked up Muhammad's fix instead,
    seeing as how that was posted first.

2) Updated patch descriptions to reflect that Valentin Obst's build fix
    for LLVM [1] has already been merged into Linux main.

3) Minor wording and typo corrections in the commit logs throughout.

Changes since the first version:
1) Rebased onto Linux 6.10-rc1

Enjoy!

Usama and John,

I am seeing checkpatch warnings in this series.

v4-3-7

Can you take a look at these and see if they can be fixed. Send me
v5 with these fixed - I will pull these in for 6.11-rc1

thanks,
