Prebuilt LLVM 22.1.0 uploaded

[Nathan Chancellor]

Hi all,

I have built and uploaded LLVM 22.1.0 to
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/llvm/.

If there are any issues found, please let us know via email or
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/new, so that we have an
opportunity to get them fixed in main and backported before the 22.x
series is no longer supported.

Cheers,
Nathan

As usual, thanks Nathan. I will test the new major.

Speaking of new major versions -- for the Rust "latest" combined ones,
should they be LLVM 22 or 21? i.e. isn't the "latest" set is meant to
match the LLVM major number? On the other hand, it probably works
anyway, and whoever cares about LTO should use the matching. But in
that case perhaps we should update the wording at the top of the page.

Cheers,
Miguel

Hmmm, yeah good point. I had interpreted it as "latest LLVM version" not
"latest LLVM stable version of the corresponding major version". I guess
I had figured CONFIG_RUSTC_CLANG_LLVM_COMPATIBLE would help prevent any
problems and most users would probably prefer the latest version of each
tool, rather than the compatible ones, which are still available. I will
work on a wording update there (or just revert back to 21.1.8 for those
until Rust has LLVM 22 merged).

Cheers,
Nathan
