[llvm-dev] Is it possible to generate a whole kernel bitcode for Linux using clang?

[Jason Thomas via llvm-dev]

Hello,

With clang/llvm 9.0 adding support for ASM GOTOs, it is now possible to
compile the latest Linux kernel with clang without any modification.
However, is it possible to generate a single bitcode for the whole Linux
kernel? Earlier approaches would involve hacks, like compiling separate
bitcode files and then linking with llvm-link, or using wllvm, or using
some other wrapper. Frequently, the resulting bitcode was not functional
due to different parts being missing. Did that situation change at all? Can
we generate a function, monolithic, self-contained bitcode using something
like libLTO? Any help would be appreciated.
