I'm now struggling with a clang -fintegrated-as related failure:

arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn
at offset 0x16
make[4]: *** [/git/arm-soc/scripts/Makefile.build:355:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o] Error 255

Using this as a local workaround, but I'd like to find out if this is a bug
in clang or in objtool:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/Makefile b/arch/x86/kernel/Makefile

Attaching the broken object file fore reference.
