I passed LLVM_IAS=1 with KAFLAGS=-fprofile-use=vmlinux.profdata:

/usr/bin/perf_5.10 stat make V=1 -j4 HOSTCC=clang HOSTCXX=clang++
HOSTLD=ld.lld CC=clang LD=ld.lld PAHOLE=/opt/paho
le/bin/pahole LOCALVERSION=-2-amd64-clang11-pgo KBUILD_VERBOSE=1
KBUILD_BUILD_HOST=iniza KBUILD_BUILD_USER=sedat.dilek@...il.com
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=2021-01-21 bind
eb-pkg KDEB_PKGVERSION=5.11.0~rc4-2~bullseye+dileks1 LLVM=1
KCFLAGS=-fprofile-use=vmlinux.profdata LLVM_IAS=1
KAFLAGS=-fprofile-use=vmlinux.profdata

The resulting Linux-kernel does not boot.

But I see in the build-log these warnings:

What does "Function control flow change detected (hash mismatch)" mean?
Related with my boot problems?
