Hi,

I did regularly KCFI testing.

1. Used Sami's samitolvanen.github#linux/kcfi Git on the Linux side.

2. Used *not* LLVM-16 (including KCFI) but with LLVM-15 from
samitolvanen.github#llvm-project/15.x/kcfi Git on the toolchain side.

My last testing was with [1] (Linux v6.0-rc7 + KCFI) and [2] (LLVM
v15.0.1 + KCFI) plus drm-i915-gt/KCFI for Linux v6.0-rc7 patch from
Nathan (see [3]).
Thanks Sami for updating 15.x/kcfi on LLVM side on my request.

So, feel free to add my:

Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@...il.com> # LLVM-15 (with KCFI
support) on x86-64

Thanks to all involved people!

Best regards,
-Sedat-
