[llvmlinux] Rebasing llvmlinux kernel patches to more current kernels

[Bernhard Rosenkränzer]

Hi,
more good news - some progress on the rebase. It finishes compiling now,
and even starts to boot, but causes an oops around root fs mount time,
looks like we have a miscompile somewhere in the mmc driver.

The mcount issue is a problem with clang (patch attached, also reported
upstream), everything else is fixed in the kernel repo.

Same here, using 3.8 with a few patches unrelated to the kernel.

Sure:
https://android-git.linaro.org/gitweb/kernel/hikey-clang.git/shortlog/refs/heads/android-hikey-linaro-4.4-clang

That mcount is a known issue and derives from function-tracer enabled.

Fixed it properly with the attached patch.

Forking the git repository to our server was the fastest way to get things
up - I'll keep stuff there, but wouldn't mind also pushing to the llvmlinux
repo (but probably the master rebase is more interesting there than the
hikey branch).
