Thanks for the report. I wonder if this might be a compiler bug; it
seems like the {a|t}san.module_{c|d}tor functions are being emitted
with ret instructions?

If you have one of these builds lying around still, can you provide:

$ llvm-objdump -dr --disassemble-symbols=tsan.module_ctor
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/bugs.o

(I'm about to head into a bunch of meetings now, but can check more
this afternoon; see you at Noon)

If Peter and Josh are bored, feel free to stop by
