Thanks for your testing.

I was also able to reproduce this issue.


The problematic parts are:

[    2.298555] crc32c_intel: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[    2.303335] crc32c_generic: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[    2.306667] libcrc32c: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout


When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y,
I cannot see any __crc_* symbols in "nm  vmlinux".

Perhaps, LTO might have discarded all the __crc_* symbols
from vmlinux, but I am still checking the details...
