Clang's integrated assembler produces the warning for assembly files:

warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per compilation unit

If -Wa,-gdwarf-* is unspecified, then debug info is not emitted.  This
will be re-enabled for new DWARF versions in a follow up patch.

Enables defconfig+CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO to build cleanly with
LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 for x86_64 and arm64.

Is this something that should be called out somewhere? If I understand
this correctly, LLVM_IAS=1 + CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y won't work? Maybe this
should be handled in Kconfig?

If you happen to respin, Dmitry deserves a Reported-by tag too :)

Regardless of the other two comments, this is fine as is as a fix for
stable to unblock Android + CrOS since we have been running something
similar to it in CI:

Nit: this should probably match the existing LLVM_IAS check

ifneq ($(LLVM_IAS),1)

The root cause is that DWARF v2 has no DW_AT_ranges, so it cannot
represent non-contiguous address ranges. It seems that GNU as -gdwarf-3
emits DW_AT_ranges as well and emits an entry for a non-executable section.
In any case, the option is of very low value, at least for LLVM.

Specifically, debug info will not be emitted, for assembler source
files. It will still be emitted for C source files (via -gdwarf-*).
-Wa,-gdwarf-* only affects assembler file sources.

Sure, will send a v3.  Going to just send this for now, as it's
blocking some downstream work I'm trying to get done in Android.
