Hi,

I was debugging a hang on a ppc64le kernel built with clang, and it
looks to be undefined behaviour with pointer wrapping in the llist code.

A test case is below. llist_for_each_entry() does container_of() on a
NULL pointer, which wraps our pointer negative, then adds the same
offset back in and expects to get back to NULL. Unfortunately clang
decides that this can never be NULL and optimises it into an infinite
loop.

Build with -DFIX, such that the llist_node has a zero offset from the
start of the struct, and things work.

Is anyone other than ppc64le building kernels with llvm/clang these
days? This should reproduce on ARM64 and x86-64.

Anton
