Let's make this a real proposal then ... (subject changed). I am again a
bit unsure about the core / tech division here.
People who should be invited: proponents of the push from the certain
quarters mentioned by Mark above, and ideally some LLVM folks as well.
I've never actually used llvm to compile the kernel (which makes me rather
poor contributor should any such discussion happen), but I've been on the
"receiving side", debugging a crash that turned out to be llvm messing up
with IF in a way that interfers with local_irq_save(), and also suffered
from the followup frustration when I found out that this has been reported
to llvm folks ages ago, and they haven't bothered to fix it (it's now at
least worked around, in a very sub-optimal way (lahf/sahf)).
Thanks,
