Weird. We generate similar code to GCC:

  Clang:
  _paravirt_ident_64:                     # @_paravirt_ident_64
  .Lfunc_begin2:
          .loc    2 100 0 is_stmt 1               # arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c:100:0
          .cfi_startproc
  # %bb.0:                                # %entry
          #DEBUG_VALUE: _paravirt_ident_64:x <- $rdi
          movq    %rdi, %rax
  .Ltmp21:
          .loc    2 101 2 prologue_end            # arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c:101:2
          xorq    %rdi, %rdi
  .Ltmp22:
          #DEBUG_VALUE: _paravirt_ident_64:x <- $rax
          retq
  .Ltmp23:
  .Lfunc_end2:
          .size   _paravirt_ident_64, .Lfunc_end2-_paravirt_ident_64
          .cfi_endproc
  
  GCC:
  _paravirt_ident_64:
  # arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c:100: {
          movq    %rdi, %rax      # tmp85, x
  # arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c:102: }
          xorl    %edi, %edi      #
          ret
          .size   _paravirt_ident_64, .-_paravirt_ident_64

I'm a bit confused...
