I checked my long list of logs, journals and selfmade Linux (Debian)
packages in my Clang-CFI / KCFI testing.

My first email to Sami was (in private):

[Clang-ThinLTO][Clang-CFI] "[PATCH] x86/asm: Replace __force_order
with memory clobber"
Aug 25, 2020, 7:30 PM

My first tryouts was with Linux v5.9-rc1 and LLVM-11;

# grep cfi packages_*.txt | egrep 'llvm|clang' | sort | head -10
packages_0612.txt:ii linux-image-5.9.0-rc1-12-amd64-llvm11-cfi
5.9.0~rc1-12~bullseye+dileks1
...
packages_0625.txt:ii linux-image-5.9.0-rc2-4-amd64-llvm11-cfi
5.9.0~rc2-4~bullseye+dileks1
...

# LC_ALL=C ll packages_0612.txt packages_0625.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 95K Aug 23  2020 packages_0612.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 96K Aug 26  2020 packages_0625.txt

My first HOORAY was with a selfmade
linux-image-5.9.0-rc2-4-amd64-llvm11-cfi on 26-Aug-2020 - on bare
metal, of course.
Two years ago.

Today, we have Linux v6.0 FINAL and LLVM-15.0.2 coming ([1] has a KCFI
Git for LLVM-15)...

Time goes bye, so quickly...

Thanks to Sami and the LLVM/Clang maintainers and community!
