+===================================
+Using AutoFDO with the Linux kernel
+===================================
+
+This enables AutoFDO build support for the kernel when using
+the Clang compiler. AutoFDO (Auto-Feedback-Directed Optimization)
+is a type of profile-guided optimization (PGO) used to enhance the
+performance of binary executables. It gathers information about the
+frequency of execution of various code paths within a binary using
+hardware sampling. This data is then used to guide the compiler's
+optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. AutoFDO
+is a powerful optimization technique, and data indicates that it can
+significantly improve kernel performance. It's especially beneficial
+for workloads affected by front-end stalls.
+
+For AutoFDO builds, unlike non-FDO builds, the user must supply a
+profile. Acquiring an AutoFDO profile can be done in several ways.
+AutoFDO profiles are created by converting hardware sampling using
+the "perf" tool. It is crucial that the workload used to create these
+perf files is representative; they must exhibit runtime
+characteristics similar to the workloads that are intended to be
+optimized. Failure to do so will result in the compiler optimizing
+for the wrong objective.
+
+The AutoFDO profile often encapsulates the program's behavior. If the
+performance-critical codes are architecture-independent, the profile
+can be applied across platforms to achieve performance gains. For
+instance, using the profile generated on Intel architecture to build
+a kernel for AMD architecture can also yield performance improvements.
+
+There are two methods for acquiring a representative profile:
+(1) Sample real workloads using a production environment.
+(2) Generate the profile using a representative load test.
+When enabling the AutoFDO build configuration without providing an
+AutoFDO profile, the compiler only modifies the dwarf information in
+the kernel without impacting runtime performance. It's advisable to
+use a kernel binary built with the same AutoFDO configuration to
+collect the perf profile. While it's possible to use a kernel built
+with different options, it may result in inferior performance.
+
+One can collect profiles using AutoFDO build for the previous kernel.
+AutoFDO employs relative line numbers to match the profiles, offering
+some tolerance for source changes. This mode is commonly used in a
+production environment for profile collection.
+
+In a profile collection based on a load test, the AutoFDO collection
+process consists of the following steps:
+
+#. Initial build: The kernel is built with AutoFDO options
+   without a profile.
+
+#. Profiling: The above kernel is then run with a representative
+   workload to gather execution frequency data. This data is
+   collected using hardware sampling, via perf. AutoFDO is most
+   effective on platforms supporting advanced PMU features like
+   LBR on Intel machines.
+
+#. AutoFDO profile generation: Perf output file is converted to
+   the AutoFDO profile via offline tools.
+
+The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 17 or later.
+
+Preparation
+===========
+
+Configure the kernel with::
+
+   CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+
+Customization
+=============
+
+The default CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG setting covers kernel space objects for
+AutoFDO builds. One can, however, enable or disable AutoFDO build for
+individual files and directories by adding a line similar to the following
+to the respective kernel Makefile:
+
+- For enabling a single file (e.g. foo.o) ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE_foo.o := y
+
+- For enabling all files in one directory ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE := y
+
+- For disabling one file ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE_foo.o := n
+
+- For disabling all files in one directory ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE := n
+
+Workflow
+========
+
+Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel:
+
+1)  Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled,
+    for example, ::
+
+      $ make menuconfig LLVM=1
+
+    Turn on AutoFDO build config::
+
+      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+
+    With a configuration that with LLVM enabled, use the following command::
+
+      $ scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG
+
+    After getting the config, build with ::
+
+      $ make LLVM=1
+
+2) Install the kernel on the test machine.
+
+3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
+   event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009,
+   for this purpose.
+
+   - For Intel platforms::
+
+      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
+
+   - For AMD platforms::
+     The supported systems are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2. To check,
+     For Zen3::
+
+      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
+
+     For Zen4::
+
+      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
+
+     The following command generated the perf data file::
+
+      $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
+
+4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.
+
+5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available:
+   create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part
+   of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub
+   (https://github.com/google/autofdo), version v0.30.1 or later.
+   The llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's
+   important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to match
+   the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release of Clang
+   or later, or just from the LLVM trunk. ::
+
+      $ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> -o <profile_file>
+
+   or ::
+
+      $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> --format=extbinary --out=<profile_file>
+
+   Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via::
+
+      $ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file> <profile_1> <profile_2> ... <profile_n>
+
+6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config as step 1,
+   (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled)::
+
+      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file>
