[PATCH 0/9] LoongArch: Preliminary ClangBuiltLinux enablement

Hi,

It's been a long time since the LoongArch port was upstreamed to LLVM,
and there seems to be evidence that Linux was successfully built with
Clang inside Loongson roughly around that time; however, a lot has
changed since then, and the Linux/LoongArch codebase now makes use of
more novel features that necessitate further work. (The enablement work
is tracked at [1].)

With this patch series and a patched LLVM/LLD ([2] for llvm-objcopy,
and [3] for LLD), a working kernel can be built with `make LLVM=1`;
although currently support for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and CONFIG_MODULE is
still TODO, we've decided to post the series early to hopefully reduce
the rebase burden. The series contains several useful cleanups anyway.

Regarding how to merge this: because only Patch 8 is outside
arch/loongarch, I'd prefer the series to get merged through Huacai's
tree. The series applies cleanly on top of next-20230622.

Thanks go to the ClangBuiltLinux team, and LoongArch toolchain
maintainers from Loongson and the community alike; without your help
this would come much later, if at all (my free time has been steadily
dwindling this year already).

Your comments are welcome!
