Ah, true. You can also pull this series from https://github.com/samitolvanen/linux.git lto-v3 Sami

In this case: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CABCJKueyWvNB2MQw_PCLtZb8F1+sA1QOLJi_5qMKwdFCcwSMGg@mail.gmail.com/T/#t is the cover letter. Then in my tree: $ b4 am https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CABCJKueyWvNB2MQw_PCLtZb8F1+sA1QOLJi_5qMKwdFCcwSMGg@mail.gmail.com/T/#t -o - | git am
This patch series adds support for building x86_64 and arm64 kernels with Clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO). In addition to performance, the primary motivation for LTO is to allow Clang's Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) to be used in the kernel. Google has shipped millions of Pixel devices running three major kernel versions with LTO+CFI since 2018. Most of the patches are build system changes for handling LLVM bitcode, which Clang produces with LTO instead of ELF object files, postponing ELF processing until a later stage, and ensuring initcall ordering. Note that patches 1-5 are not directly related to LTO, but are needed to compile LTO kernels with ToT Clang, so I'm including them in the series for your convenience: - Patches 1-3 fix build issues with LLVM and they are already in linux-next. - Patch 4 fixes x86 builds with LLVM IAS, but it hasn't yet been picked up by maintainers. - Patch 5 is from Masahiro's kbuild tree and makes the LTO linker script changes much cleaner. --- Changes in v3: - Added a separate patch to remove the unused DISABLE_LTO treewide, as filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO instead is preferred. - Updated the Kconfig help to explain why LTO is behind a choice and disabled by default. - Dropped CC_FLAGS_LTO_CLANG, compiler-specific LTO flags are now appended directly to CC_FLAGS_LTO. - Updated $(AR) flags as KBUILD_ARFLAGS was removed earlier. - Fixed ThinLTO cache handling for external module builds. - Rebased on top of Masahiro's patch for preprocessing modules.lds, and moved the contents of module-lto.lds to modules.lds.S. - Moved objtool_args to Makefile.lib to avoid duplication of the command line parameters in Makefile.modfinal. - Clarified in the commit message for the initcall ordering patch that the initcall order remains the same as without LTO. - Changed link-vmlinux.sh to use jobserver-exec to control the number of jobs started by generate_initcall_ordering.pl. - Dropped the x86/relocs patch to whitelist L4_PAGE_OFFSET as it's no longer needed with ToT kernel. - Disabled LTO for arch/x86/power/cpu.c to work around a Clang bug with stack protector attributes. Changes in v2: - Fixed -Wmissing-prototypes warnings with W=1. - Dropped cc-option from -fsplit-lto-unit and added .thinlto-cache scrubbing to make distclean. - Added a comment about Clang >=11 being required. - Added a patch to disable LTO for the arm64 KVM nVHE code. - Disabled objtool's noinstr validation with LTO unless enabled. - Included Peter's proposed objtool mcount patch in the series and replaced recordmcount with the objtool pass to avoid whitelisting relocations that are not calls. - Updated several commit messages with better explanations.
