This flag is specific to clang, where it is only used by the 32-bit and 64-bit ARM backends. In certain situations, the presence of this flag will cause a warning, as shown by commit6580c5c18f("um: clang: Strip out -mno-global-merge from USER_CFLAGS"). Since commit61163efae0("kbuild: LLVMLinux: Add Kbuild support for building kernel with Clang") that added this flag back in 2014, there have been quite a few changes to the GlobalMerge pass in LLVM. Building several different ARCH=arm and ARCH=arm64 configurations with LLVM 11 (minimum) and 15 (current main version) with this flag removed (i.e., with the default of '-mglobal-merge') reveals no modpost warnings, so it is likely that the issue noted in the comment is no longer relevant due to changes in LLVM or modpost, meaning this flag can be removed. If any new warnings show up that are a result of the removal of this flag, it can be added back under arch/arm{,64}/Makefile to avoid warnings on other architectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
