I have not done a bisect but it seems likely that this change breaks linking modules for the arm64 Linux kernel, is this expected?

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 LLVM=1 mrproper defconfig all
  ...
  ld.lld: error: section type mismatch for .plt
  >>> <internal>:(.plt): SHT_PROGBITS
  >>> output section .plt: SHT_NOBITS
  ...

I believe the `.plt` handling in the linker script comes from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/include/asm/module.lds.h?h=v5.17-rc4.
