clang and gas seem to interpret the symbols in memmove_64.S and memset_64.S differently, such that clang does not make them 'weak' as expected, which leads to a linker error, with both ld.bfd and ld.lld:
ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: memmove
defined at common.c kasan/common.o:(memmove) in archive mm/built-in.a defined at memmove.o:(__memmove) in archive arch/arm64/lib/lib.a
ld.lld: error: duplicate symbol: memset
defined at common.c kasan/common.o:(memset) in archive mm/built-in.a defined at memset.o:(__memset) in archive arch/arm64/lib/lib.a
Copy the exact way these are written in memcpy_64.S, which does not have the same problem.
I don't know why this makes a difference, and it would be good to have someone with a better understanding of assembler internals review it.
It might be either a bug in the kernel or a bug in the assembler, no idea which one. My patch makes it work with all versions of clang and gcc, which is probably helpful even if it's a workaround for a clang bug.

+ Bill, Fangrui, Jian I think we saw this bug or a very similar bug internally around the ordering of .weak to .global.
