Thanks for the report. This is another case where the implicit switch to
the integrated assembler exposed a previously fixed issue in LLVM:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1079

This cannot be fixed in the LLVM 10 branch as it is no longer updated so
if you want to keep testing with clang-10 for x86_64 on mainline, please
add 'LLVM_IAS=0' to your make command like we did in our own CI.

As a quick aside, would you mind updating my email address in your
system for reports to nathan@...nel.org? It will ensure it gets sent to
the correct inbox so that I do not miss things, as I do not use my
personal address for kernel development anymore.

Cheers,
Nathan
