I just bisected a boot hang with an LLVM-built multi_v7_defconfig +
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y kernel down to this commit. I do not see the same
hang when the kernel is compiled with GCC 11.2.0 and binutils 2.37 nor
do I see a hang with multi_v7_defconfig by itself. Is there something
that LLVM is doing wrong when compiling/assembling/linking the kernel or
is there something wrong/too aggressive with this commit? I can
reproduce this with current QEMU HEAD (ad22d05833).

My QEMU invocation is:

$ qemu-system-arm \
    -append "console=ttyAMA0 earlycon" \
    -display none \
    -initrd rootfs.cpio \
    -kernel zImage \
    -M virt \
    -m 512m \
    -nodefaults \
    -no-reboot \
    -serial mon:stdio

and the rootfs.cpio and zImage files can be found here:
