Hi Nick,

yesterday was public holiday in Germany, so I answer today.

These are really good news, Thanks.

For my recent experiments with Linux-kernel v4.14.y LTS I used Clang...

#1: version 6.0 from Debian/testing repositories
#2: version 7 (svn330207) from <apt-llvm.org>

In these cases I had success (good means boot on bare metal) or it
failed (bad verified in Qemu):

bad: CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y and  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
good: CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n and CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
good: CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y and CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y

So, the issue is in both Clang versions and I appreciate to have your
fix in LLVM/Clang version 6.0.1 as I don't know which version will get
into upcoming Debian/buster (version 10, current status: testing).

Hope this helps.

Regards,
