Hi,
looks like Linux v4.12-rc1 will have a nice collection of clang
patches, see [1].
IMHO this can be a good base.
Personally, I gave some help to get Linux v4.4.y-LTS running on x86-64
bare metal to some people in private.
There are still some severe show-stoppers for x86-64: mcount-x86 and eflags-x86.
The latter is a known issue.
For more details see [2].
I have no experiences with clang-4.0 which seems to cause new issues.
clang 3.9.1 is a good base.
The llvmlinux project tend to support latest Git stuff.
This is/was IMHO no good base.
So what is your "good base" in case of toolchain and Linux-kernel version?
