Thanks Arvind, good write up. Just curious about this stable tag, how come you picked 4.19? I can see boot failures in our CI for x86+LLD back to 4.9. Can we amend that tag to use `# 4.9`? I'd be happy to help submit backports should they fail to apply cleanly. https://travis-ci.com/github/ClangBuiltLinux/continuous-integration/builds/1...
4.19 renamed LDFLAGS to KBUILD_LDFLAGS. For 4.4, 4.9 and 4.14 the patch needs to be modified, KBUILD_LDFLAGS -> LDFLAGS, so I figured we should submit backports separately. For 4.19 onwards, it should apply without changes I think.
Thanks.
