"Clang LTO x86 enablement.
Full disclosure: while this has _not_ been in linux-next (since it
initially looked like the objtool dependencies weren't going to make
v5.12), it has been under daily build and runtime testing by Sami for
quite some time. These x86 portions have been discussed on lkml, with
Peter, Josh, and others helping nail things down.
The bulk of the changes are to get objtool working happily. The rest
of the x86 enablement is very small.

20bf2b3787 ("x86/build: Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel")
disabled CET instrumentation which gets added by default by the Ubuntu
gcc9 and 10 by default, but did that only for 64-bit builds. It would
still fail when building a 32-bit target. So disable CET for all x86
builds.

With retpolines disabled, some configurations of GCC, and specifically
the GCC versions 9 and 10 in Ubuntu will add Intel CET instrumentation
to the kernel by default. That breaks certain tracing scenarios by
adding a superfluous ENDBR64 instruction before the fentry call, for
functions which can be called indirectly.
CET instrumentation isn't currently necessary in the kernel, as CET is
only supported in user space. Disable it unconditionally and move it
into the x86's Makefile as CET/CFI... enablement should be a per-arch
decision anyway.

Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).
To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.
To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

This option is only required for vmlinux on 64-bit, to enforce 2MiB
alignment, so set it in LDFLAGS_vmlinux instead of KBUILD_LDFLAGS. Also
drop the ld-option check: this option was added in binutils-2.18 and all
the other places that use it already don't have the check.
This reduces the size of the intermediate ELF files

Doing this probing inside of the Makefiles means we have a maze of
ifdefs inside the source code and child Makefiles that need to make
proper decisions on this too. Instead, we do it at Kconfig time, like
many other compiler and assembler options, which allows us to set up the
dependencies normally for full compilation units. In the process, the
ADX test changes to use %eax instead of %r10 so that it's valid in both
32-bit and 64-bit mode.

The last bump was commit 1fb12b35e5 ("kbuild: Raise the minimum
required binutils version to 2.21").
I confirmed the code in $(call as-instr,...) can be assembled by the
binutils 2.21 assembler and also by LLVM integrated assembler.
Remove CONFIG_AS_CFI, which is always defined.

Some older version of GAS do not support the ADX instructions, similarly
to how they also don't support AVX and such. This commit adds the same

One of the very few warnings I have in the current build comes from
arch/x86/boot/edd.c, where I get the following with a gcc9 build:
arch/x86/boot/edd.c: In function ‘query_edd’:
arch/x86/boot/edd.c:148:11: warning: taking address of packed member of ‘struct boot_params’ may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member]
148 | mbrptr = boot_params.edd_mbr_sig_buffer;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~
This warning triggers because we throw away all the CFLAGS and then make
a new set for REALMODE_CFLAGS, so the -Wno-address-of-packed-member we
added in the following commit is not present:
6f303d6053 ("gcc-9: silence 'address-of-packed-member' warning")
The simplest solution for now is to adjust the warning for this version
of CFLAGS as well, but it would definitely make sense to examine whether
REALMODE_CFLAGS could be derived from CFLAGS, so that it picks up changes
in the compiler flags environment automatically.

The LLVM linker (ld.lld) defaults to removing local relocations, which
causes KASLR boot failures. ld.bfd and ld.gold already handle this
correctly. This adds the explicit instruction "--discard-none" during
the link phase. There is no change in output for ld.bfd and ld.gold,
but ld.lld now produces an image with all the needed relocations.

Commit ce02ef06fc ("x86, retpolines: Raise limit for generating indirect
calls from switch-case") raised the limit under retpolines to 20 switch
cases where gcc would only then start to emit jump tables, and therefore
effectively disabling the emission of slow indirect calls in this area.
After this has been brought to attention to gcc folks [0], Martin Liska
has then fixed gcc to align with clang by avoiding to generate switch jump
tables entirely under retpolines. This is taking effect in gcc starting
from stable version 8.4.0. Given kernel supports compilation with older
versions of gcc where the fix is not being available or backported anymore,
we need to keep the extra KBUILD_CFLAGS around for some time and generally
set the -fno-jump-tables to align with what more recent gcc is doing
automatically today.
More than 20 switch cases are not expected to be fast-path critical, but
it would still be good to align with gcc behavior for versions < 8.4.0 in
order to have consistency across supported gcc versions. vmlinux size is
slightly growing by 0.27% for older gcc. This flag is only set to work
around affected gcc, no change for clang.

Recent work on XDP from Björn and Magnus additionally found that manually
transforming the XDP return code switch statement with more than 5 cases
into if-else combination would result in a considerable speedup in XDP
layer due to avoidance of indirect calls in CONFIG_RETPOLINE enabled
builds. On i40e driver with XDP prog attached, a 20-26% speedup has been
observed [0]. Aside from XDP, there are many other places later in the
networking stack's critical path with similar switch-case
processing. Rather than fixing every XDP-enabled driver and locations in
stack by hand, it would be good to instead raise the limit where gcc would
emit expensive indirect calls from the switch under retpolines and stick
with the default as-is in case of !retpoline configured kernels. This would
also have the advantage that for archs where this is not necessary, we let
compiler select the underlying target optimization for these constructs and
avoid potential slow-downs by if-else hand-rewrite.
In case of gcc, this setting is controlled by case-values-threshold which
has an architecture global default that selects 4 or 5 (latter if target
does not have a case insn that compares the bounds) where some arch back
ends like arm64 or s390 override it with their own target hooks, for
example, in gcc commit db7a90aa0de5 ("S/390: Disable prediction of indirect
branches") the threshold pretty much disables jump tables by limit of 20
under retpoline builds. Comparing gcc's and clang's default code
generation on x86-64 under O2 level with retpoline build results in the
following outcome for 5 switch cases:

Raising the cases to a high number (e.g. 100) will still result in similar
code generation pattern with clang and gcc as above, in other words clang
generally turns off jump table emission by having an extra expansion pass
under retpoline build to turn indirectbr instructions from their IR into
switch instructions as a built-in -mno-jump-table lowering of a switch (in
this case, even if IR input already contained an indirect branch).
For gcc, adding --param=case-values-threshold=20 as in similar fashion as
s390 in order to raise the limit for x86 retpoline enabled builds results
in a small vmlinux size increase of only 0.13% (before=18,027,528
after=18,051,192). For clang this option is ignored due to i) not being
needed as mentioned and ii) not having above cmdline
parameter. Non-retpoline-enabled builds with gcc continue to use the
default case-values-threshold setting, so nothing changes here.

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label".
The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined
like this:
#if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL)
# define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL
#endif
We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then
make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO.
Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will
match to the real kernel capability.

It is troublesome to add a diagnostic like this to the Makefile
parse stage because the top-level Makefile could be parsed with
a stale include/config/auto.conf.
Once you are hit by the error about non-retpoline compiler, the

The easiest fix is to move this check to the "archprepare" like

Commit 77b0bf55bc ("kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in
inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs")
added -Wa,- to KBUILD_CFLAGS, which breaks compiling with Clang (hangs
indefinitely at compiling init/main.o). This happens because while Clang
accepts -pipe (and has it documented in its list of supported flags), it
silently ignores it after this 2010 commit (thanks to Nick Desaulniers
for tracking this down), meaning that gas just infinitely waits for
stdin and never receives it.
c19a12dc3d
Initially, I had suggested just add -Wa,- to KBUILD_CFLAGS when GCC was
being used but that was before realizing it is because Clang doesn't do
anything with -pipe. H. Peter Anvin suggested checking to see if -pipe
gives us any gains out of GCC. Turns out it might actually be hurting:
With -pipe:
real 3m40.813s
real 3m44.449s
real 3m39.648s
Without -pipe:
real 3m38.492s
real 3m38.335s
real 3m38.975s
The issue of -Wa,- being passed along to gas without -pipe being
supported should still probably be fixed on the LLVM side (open issue:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39410) but this is not as much of
a workaround anymore since it helps both GCC and Clang.

Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs
in GCC's inlining decisions.
Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files.
Currently only x86 will use it.
Background:
The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware
of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes,
or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data
due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ...
Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of
certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source
code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute
for "code size and complexity".
Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain
common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent
practice of putting useful information into alternative sections.
As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions
are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm()
blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in
reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine
instructions.
This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm()
blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance
overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make
frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the
way when running on baremetal hardware.
Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro
and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the
inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.)
This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount

Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read
and maintain ...
We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding
our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

When bootstrapping an architecture, it's usual to generate the kernel's
user-space headers (make headers_install) before building a compiler. Move
the compiler check (for asm goto support) to the archprepare target so that
it is only done when building code for the target.
Fixes: e501ce957a ("x86: Force asm-goto")

Commit cafa0010cd ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6")
bumped the minimum GCC version to 4.6 for all architectures.
Remove the workaround code.
It was the only user of cc-if-fullversion. Remove the macro as well.

Commit a0f97e06a4 ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
Commit 222d394d30 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.
Commit 06c5040cdb ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.
For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.
I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

The following commit:
e501ce957a ("x86: Force asm-goto")
... bumped the minimum GCC version to 4.5 for building the x86 kernel.
arch/x86/Makefile no longer needs to take care of older GCC versions,
such as this pre-4.0 -funit-at-a-time quirk.

kexec-purgatory.c is properly generated when Kbuild descend into
the arch/x86/purgatory/.
Thus the 'archprepare' target is redundant.

Reverts the following commit:
b0108f9e93 ("kexec: purgatory: add clean-up for purgatory directory")
... which incorrectly stated that the kexec-purgatory.c and purgatory.ro files
were not removed after 'make mrproper'.
In fact, they are. You can confirm it after reverting it.
$ make mrproper
$ touch arch/x86/purgatory/kexec-purgatory.c
$ touch arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.ro
$ make mrproper
CLEAN arch/x86/purgatory
$ ls arch/x86/purgatory/
entry64.S Makefile purgatory.c setup-x86_64.S stack.S string.c
This is obvious from the build system point of view.
arch/x86/Makefile adds 'arch/x86' to core-y.
Hence 'make clean' descends like this:
arch/x86/Kbuild
-> arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

Pull x86 build updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change is the forcing of asm-goto support on x86, which
effectively increases the GCC minimum supported version to gcc-4.5 (on
x86)"
* 'x86-build-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/build: Don't pass in -D__KERNEL__ multiple times
x86: Remove FAST_FEATURE_TESTS
x86: Force asm-goto
x86/build: Drop superfluous ALIGN from the linker script
Some .<target>.cmd files under arch/x86 are showing two instances of
-D__KERNEL__, like arch/x86/boot/ and arch/x86/realmode/rm/.
__KERNEL__ is already defined in KBUILD_CPPFLAGS in the top Makefile,
so it can be dropped safely.
