With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, we currently link modules into native code just before modpost, which means with TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS enabled, we still look at the LLVM bitcode in the .o files when generating the list of used symbols. As the bitcode doesn't yet have calls to compiler intrinsics and llvm-nm doesn't see function references that only exist in function-level inline assembly, we currently need a whitelist for TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS to work with LTO. This change moves module LTO linking to happen earlier, and thus avoids the issue with LLVM bitcode and TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS entirely, allowing us to also drop the whitelist from gen_autoksyms.sh.

README
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.
