Cross compiling to aarch32 (for vdso32) using clang correctly identifies that (the unused) write_sysreg inline asm directive is illegal in that architectural context:
arch/arm64/include/asm/arch_timer.h: error: invalid input constraint 'rZ' in asm write_sysreg(cntkctl, cntkctl_el1); ^ arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h: note: expanded from macro 'write_sysreg' : : "rZ" (__val)); ^ GCC normally checks for correctness everywhere. But uniquely for unused asm, will optimize out and suppress the error report.
