I was a bit hasty yesterday, clang-20 and W=1 produces these errors:

| include/linux/vmstat.h:517:36: error: arithmetic between different enumeration types ('enum node_stat_item' and 'enum lru_list') [-Werror,-Wenum-enum-conversion]
|   517 |         return node_stat_name(NR_LRU_BASE + lru) + 3; // skip "nr_"
|       |                               ~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~
| 1 error generated.

However I fail to reproduce the ndo_start_xmit problem. Even with 18.1.8
from kernel.org.


The following command (ARCH is unset, compiling x86 -> x86) produces the
above shown "vmstat.h" problems....

| $ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 LLVM_SUFFIX=-20 drivers/net/can/rockchip/  W=1 CONFIG_WERROR=0

... but not the ndo_start_xmit problem.


Am I missing a vital .config option?

| $ grep "CLANG\|CFI" .config
| CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG=y
| CONFIG_CLANG_VERSION=200000
| CONFIG_CFI_AUTO_DEFAULT=y
| CONFIG_FUNCTION_PADDING_CFI=11
| CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y
| CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG=y
| CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y
| CONFIG_HAS_LTO_CLANG=y
| CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y
| CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_CFI_CLANG=y
| CONFIG_ARCH_USES_CFI_TRAPS=y
| CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y
| # CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE is not set


V=1 gives this output:
