This change adds the configuration option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, and
build system support for clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO). In
preparation for LTO support for other compilers, potentially common
parts of the changes are gated behind CONFIG_LTO instead.
With -flto, instead of object files, clang produces LLVM bitcode,
which is compiled into a native object at link time, allowing the
final binary to be optimized globally. For more details, see:
https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html
While the kernel normally uses GNU ld for linking, LLVM supports LTO
only with lld or GNU gold linkers. This patch set assumes gold will
be used with the LLVMgold plug-in to perform the LTO link step. Due
to potential incompatibilities with GNU ld, this change also adds
LDFINAL_vmlinux for using a different linker for the vmlinux_link
step, and defaults to using GNU ld.
Assuming LLVMgold.so is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG has
been selected, an LTO kernel can be built simply by running make
CC=clang. LTO requires clang >= 5.0 and gold from binutils >= 2.27.
