Subject: [PATCH 1/1] kbuild: Fix CFI hash randomization with KASAN

Clang emits a asan.module_ctor constructor to each object file
when KASAN is enabled, and these functions are indirectly called
in do_ctors. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler also emits a CFI
type hash before each address-taken global function so they can
pass indirect call checks.

However, in commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash
randomization"), x86 implemented boot time hash randomization,
which relies on the .cfi_sites section generated by objtool. As
objtool is run against vmlinux.o instead of individual object
files with X86_KERNEL_IBT (enabled by default), CFI types in
object files that are not part of vmlinux.o end up not being
included in .cfi_sites, and thus won't get randomized and trip
CFI when called.

Only .vmlinux.export.o and init/version-timestamp.o are linked
into vmlinux separately from vmlinux.o. As these files don't
contain any functions, disable KASAN for both of them to avoid
breaking hash randomization.
