LLVM prior to 18.0.0 would generate incorrect debug info for DWARF5 due to linker relaxation, which was worked around in clang by defaulting RISC-V to DWARF4 [1]. Unfortunately, this workaround does not work for the kernel because the DWARF version can be independently changed from the default in Kconfig. Do not allow DWARF5 to be selected for RISC-V when using linker relaxation (ld.lld >= 15.0.0) and a version of LLVM that does not have the fixes (the integrated assembler [2] and ld.lld [3] < 18.0.0) necessary to generate the correct debug info.

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.
