Thanks Andy for bringing this up as v2.

AFAICS, LLVM bug #47479 was involved here (see [1]).
Maybe Nick can say some words.

After patching my LLVM toolchain I decided to drop this and integrated
the (kernel-side) diff from Nick (see [1]) in my custom patch-series.

Is this your x86/unify_stack_canary Git branch (see [2])?
