Testing a -next defconfig build, if I apply this, apply fixes for https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/913, then disable CONFIG_KVM, I can assemble (with Clang's integrated assembler) and boot an aarch64 kernel. I think that's a first for Clang. Wow.
For CONFIG_KVM, I see: arch/arm64/kvm/hyp/entry.S:112:87: error: too many positional arguments alternative_insn nop, .inst (0xd500401f | ((0) << 16 | (4) << 5) | ((!!1) << 8)), 4, 1
^ which also uses `alternative_insn`, but not `user_alt`, so another bug for us to look into, filed: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/939
Looks like `_asm_extable` itself is a macro, defined in arch/arm64/include/asm/assembler.h on line 125. It's probably easy to fix this in clang, but from a consistency with the rest of the file (arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative.h) this patch should be accepted.

Should be easy to fix in Clang, too. Filed: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45257 Thanks for the patch!
