I downgraded to clang-11.1.0-rc1. ( See attachment. ) Doing the first build with PGO enabled plus DWARF5 and LLVM_IAS=1 works. But again after generating vmlinux.profdata and doing the PGO-rebuild - the resulting Linux-kernel does NOT boot in QEMU or on bare metal. With GNU/as I can boot. So this is independent of DWARF v4 or DWARF v5 (LLVM_IAS=1 and DWARF v2 is not allowed). There is something wrong (here) with passing LLVM_IAS=1 to make when doing the PGO-rebuild. Can someone please verify and confirm that the PGO-rebuild with LLVM_IAS=1 boots or boots not?
