This weekend I updated our copy of llvm/clang again, from trunk r126079 to trunk r126547. There are several bugfixes in this update, but the most important one is to ensure __start_ and __stop_ symbols for linker sets and kernel module metadata are always emitted in object files. Before this fix, if you compiled kernel modules with clang, they would not be properly processed by kldxref, and if they had any dependencies, the kernel would fail to load those. Another problem occurred when attempting to mount a tmpfs filesystem, which would result in 'operation not supported by device'. So, if you compiled your system with clang r126079 (the one from last week), please rebuild it again, if you want to have properly loading modules.
