On 32-bit ARM, I got a link failure in futex_init() when building
with clang in some random configurations:
kernel/futex.o:(.text.fixup+0x5c): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_JUMP24
against `.init.text'
As far as I can tell, the problem is that a branch is over 16MB
apart in those configurations, but only if it branches back to
the init text.
Marking the futex_detect_cmpxchg() function as noinline and
not __init avoids the problem for me.
