Hi Boaquan,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried a lot in the meantime :-).

For example I applied a patch from Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com>...

commit 1a1d48a4a8fde49aedc045d894efe67173d59fe0
"linux/bitmap: Force inlining of bitmap weight functions"

...on top of Linux v4.2.

This resulted in the same call-trace in QEMU.

I hacked around to only re-build mm/percpu.c with GCC (rest with
CLANG) with some guidance from Linus (compiler warapper-script) etc.

What do you need for outputs?
objdump of lib/bitmap.o?
From both builds - with GCC and CLANG?

Please give me clear instructions, Thanks!

Regards,
- Sedat -
