Subject: [PATCH v6 00/25] Add support for Clang LTO
This patch series adds support for building the x86_64 kernel with
Clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO).
In addition to performance, the primary motivation for LTO is
to allow Clang's Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) to be used in the
kernel. Google has shipped millions of Pixel devices running three
major kernel versions with LTO+CFI since 2018.
Most of the patches are build system changes for handling LLVM
bitcode, which Clang produces with LTO instead of ELF object files,
postponing ELF processing until a later stage, and ensuring initcall
ordering.
Note that this version is based on tip/master to reduce the number
of prerequisite patches, and to make it easier to manage changes to
objtool. Patch 1 is from Masahiro's kbuild tree, and while it's not
directly related to LTO, it makes the module linker script changes
cleaner.
Furthermore, patches 2-6 include Peter's patch for generating
__mcount_loc with objtool, and build system changes to enable it on
x86. With these patches, we no longer need to annotate functions
that have non-call references to __fentry__ with LTO, which greatly
simplifies supporting dynamic ftrace.

---
Changes in v6:
- Added the missing --mcount flag to patch 5.
- Dropped the arm64 patches from this series and will repost them
later.
Changes in v5:
- Rebased on top of tip/master.
- Changed the command line for objtool to use --vmlinux --duplicate
to disable warnings about retpoline thunks and to fix .orc_unwind
generation for vmlinux.o.
- Added --noinstr flag to objtool, so we can use --vmlinux without
also enabling noinstr validation.
- Disabled objtool's unreachable instruction warnings with LTO to
disable false positives for the int3 padding in vmlinux.o.
- Added ANNOTATE_RETPOLINE_SAFE annotations to the indirect jumps
in x86 assembly code to fix objtool warnings with retpoline.
- Fixed modpost warnings about missing version information with
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS.
- Included Makefile.lib into Makefile.modpost for ld_flags. Thanks
to Sedat for pointing this out.
- Updated the help text for ThinLTO to better explain the trade-offs.
- Updated commit messages with better explanations.
Changes in v4:
- Fixed a typo in Makefile.lib to correctly pass --no-fp to objtool.
- Moved ftrace configs related to generating __mcount_loc to Kconfig,
so they are available also in Makefile.modfinal.
- Dropped two prerequisite patches that were merged to Linus' tree.
Changes in v3:
- Added a separate patch to remove the unused DISABLE_LTO treewide,
as filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO instead is preferred.
- Updated the Kconfig help to explain why LTO is behind a choice
and disabled by default.
- Dropped CC_FLAGS_LTO_CLANG, compiler-specific LTO flags are now
appended directly to CC_FLAGS_LTO.
- Updated $(AR) flags as KBUILD_ARFLAGS was removed earlier.
- Fixed ThinLTO cache handling for external module builds.
- Rebased on top of Masahiro's patch for preprocessing modules.lds,
and moved the contents of module-lto.lds to modules.lds.S.
- Moved objtool_args to Makefile.lib to avoid duplication of the
command line parameters in Makefile.modfinal.
- Clarified in the commit message for the initcall ordering patch
that the initcall order remains the same as without LTO.
- Changed link-vmlinux.sh to use jobserver-exec to control the
number of jobs started by generate_initcall_ordering.pl.
- Dropped the x86/relocs patch to whitelist L4_PAGE_OFFSET as it's
no longer needed with ToT kernel.
- Disabled LTO for arch/x86/power/cpu.c to work around a Clang bug
with stack protector attributes.
Changes in v2:
- Fixed -Wmissing-prototypes warnings with W=1.
- Dropped cc-option from -fsplit-lto-unit and added .thinlto-cache
scrubbing to make distclean.
- Added a comment about Clang >=11 being required.
- Added a patch to disable LTO for the arm64 KVM nVHE code.
- Disabled objtool's noinstr validation with LTO unless enabled.
- Included Peter's proposed objtool mcount patch in the series
and replaced recordmcount with the objtool pass to avoid
whitelisting relocations that are not calls.
- Updated several commit messages with better explanations.
