Hi Linus,

Please pull this Clang Link Time Optimization series for v5.12-rc1. This
has been in linux-next for the entire last development cycle, and is
built on the work done preparing[0] for LTO by arm64 folks, tracing folks,
etc. This series includes the core changes as well as the remaining pieces
for arm64 (LTO has been the default build method on Android for about
3 years now, as it is the prerequisite for the Control Flow Integrity
protections). While x86 LTO support is done[1], there is still some
on-going clean-up work happening for objtool[2] that should hopefully
land by the v5.13 merge window.

For merge log posterity, and as detailed in commit dc5723b02e52 ("kbuild:
add support for Clang LTO"), here is the lt;dr to do an LTO build:

        make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
        scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
        make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1

(To do a cross-compile of arm64, add "CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-"
and "ARCH=arm64" to the "make" command lines.)

Thanks!

-Kees
