That fixes the issue for me:

Without patch:

... -Wno-unused-const-variable -g -gdwarf-5 -gz=zlib -g -gdwarf-5
-gz=zlib -pg -mfentry ...

With this patch:
... -Wno-unused-const-variable -g -gdwarf-5 -gz=zlib -pg -mfentry ...

The relevant Kconfigs:

$ grep DEBUG_INFO .config | grep ^CONFIG
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF5=y

Latest make-line:

$ /usr/bin/perf_5.10 stat make V=1 -j4 LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
PAHOLE=/opt/pahole/bin/pahole LOCALVERSION=-4-amd64-clang12-
cfi-pgo KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 KBUILD_BUILD_HOST=iniza
KBUILD_BUILD_USER=sedat.dilek@...il.com
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=2021-02-03 bindeb-pkg
KDEB_PKGVERSION=5.11.0~rc6-4~bull
seye+dileks1

Feel free to add my...

Thanks again Masahiro.
