Dear stable kernel maintainers, please consider applying the attached
patch for 4.19.y. It is adjusted to avoid conflicts due to:
commit 3ac0f4526dfb ("arm64: lib: Use modern annotations for
assembly functions")
commit 35e61c77ef38 ("arm64: asm: Add new-style position
independent function annotations")]
not being backported to 4.19.y. It helps us enable LLVM_IAS=1 builds
for aarch64 for Android and CrOS.
