Andi Kleen has been providing kernel patches for LTO (gcc) for nine years.

Clang still has big problems with LTO. When the system wakes up from sleep, it performs a hard reset. Unacceptable.

I hope LTO-support in the Kernel with Clang and GCC will finally cross the finish line soon... can't wait for the performance testing on Phoronix.
