In a nutshell, the Clang build issues a bogus warning about GCC while it silently botches the neon auto-loop vectorization. :) Many thanks to all who have investigated this issue before me. Arnd posted a workaround for xor.h [3], but I very much like his first suggestion of disabling the broken feature until the compiler is fixed. Tested on latest linux next-20201105 using bcm2835 & versatile configs and Clang 10.0.1 P.S: While testing aarch64/imx8m I also noticed vectorization is broke there as well, but that deserves its own patch because it's a separate xor-neon implementation (if this approach is deemed sensible).
