Building the KVM selftests with LLVM's integrated assembler fails with:
$ CFLAGS=-fintegrated-as make -C tools/testing/selftests/kvm CC=clang
lib/x86_64/svm.c:77:16: error: too few operands for instruction
asm volatile ("vmsave\n\t" : : "a" (vmcb_gpa) : "memory");
^
<inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here
vmsave
^
lib/x86_64/svm.c:134:3: error: too few operands for instruction
"vmload\n\t"
^
<inline asm>:1:2: note: instantiated into assembly here
vmload
^
This is because LLVM IAS does not currently support calling vmsave,
vmload, or vmload without an explicit %rax operand.
Add an explicit operand to vmsave, vmload, and vmrum in svm.c. Fixing
this was suggested by Sean Christopherson.
Tested: building without this error in clang 11. The following patch
(not queued yet) needs to be applied to solve the other remaining error:
"selftests: kvm: remove reassignment of non-absolute variables".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
