clang and gas seem to interpret the symbols in memmove.S and memset.S differently, such that clang does not make them 'weak' as expected, which leads to a linker error, with both ld.bfd and ld.lld: ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: memmove >>> defined at common.c >>> kasan/common.o:(memmove) in archive mm/built-in.a >>> defined at memmove.o:(__memmove) in archive arch/arm64/lib/lib.a ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: memset >>> defined at common.c >>> kasan/common.o:(memset) in archive mm/built-in.a >>> defined at memset.o:(__memset) in archive arch/arm64/lib/lib.a Copy the exact way these are written in memcpy_64.S, which does not have the same problem. I don't know why this makes a difference, and it would be good to have someone with a better understanding of assembler internals review it. It might be either a bug in the kernel or a bug in the assembler, no idea which one. My patch makes it work with all versions of clang and gcc, which is probably helpful even if it's a workaround for a clang bug.
