Linus reported a build error due to the GCC plugin incompatibility
when the compiler is upgraded. [1]

GCC plugins are tied to a particular GCC version. So, they must be
rebuilt when the compiler is upgraded.

This seems to be a long-standing flaw since the initial support of
GCC plugins.

Extend commit 8b59cd81 ("kbuild: ensure full rebuild when the
compiler is updated"), so that GCC plugins are covered by the
compiler upgrade detection.

Commit 78d3bb44 ("kbuild: Fix <linux/version.h> for empty SUBLEVEL

by prepending a zero.

Commit 9b82f13e ("kbuild: clamp SUBLEVEL to 255") re-introduced
this issue.

This time, we cannot take the same approach because we have C code:

  #define LINUX_VERSION_PATCHLEVEL $(PATCHLEVEL)
  #define LINUX_VERSION_SUBLEVEL $(SUBLEVEL)

Replace empty SUBLEVEL/PATCHLEVEL with a zero.

Of course, such a combination is odd, but the build system needs to do

When doing non-clean builds and switching between CONFIG_LTO=n and
CONFIG_LTO=y, the build system (correctly) didn't notice that assembly
and LTO-excluded C object files were rewritten in place by objtool (to
add the .orc_unwind* sections), since their build command lines were the
same between CONFIG_LTO=y and CONFIG_LTO=n. The objtool step would fail:

vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: file already has .orc_unwind section, skipping
make: *** [Makefile:1194: vmlinux] Error 255

Avoid this by making sure the build will see a difference between an LTO
and non-LTO build (by including "-fno-lto" in KBUILD_*FLAGS). This will
get ignored when CC_FLAGS_LTO is present, and will not be included at
all when CONFIG_LTO=n.

Right now if SUBLEVEL becomes larger than 255 it will overflow into the
territory of PATCHLEVEL, causing havoc in userspace that tests for
specific kernel version.

While userspace code tests for MAJOR and PATCHLEVEL, it doesn't test
SUBLEVEL at any point as ABI changes don't happen in the context of
stable tree.

Thus, to avoid overflows, simply clamp SUBLEVEL to it's maximum value in
the context of LINUX_VERSION_CODE. This does not affect "make

DWARF v5 is the latest standard of the DWARF debug info format. GCC 11
will change the implicit default DWARF version, if left unspecified, to
DWARF v5.

Allow users of Clang and older versions of GCC that have not changed the
implicit default DWARF version to DWARF v5 to opt in. This can help
testing consumers of DWARF debug info in preparation of v5 becoming more
widespread, as well as result in significant binary size savings of the
pre-stripped vmlinux image.

DWARF5 wins significantly in terms of size when mixed with compression
(CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED).

363M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5.compressed
434M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4.compressed
439M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2.compressed
457M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf5
536M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf4
548M    vmlinux.clang12.dwarf2

515M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5.compressed
599M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf4.compressed
624M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf2.compressed
630M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwarf5
765M    vmlinux.gcc10.2.dwa...

Adds a default CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT which allows
the implicit default version of DWARF emitted by the toolchain to
progress over time.

Modifies CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF4 to be a member of a choice, making it
mutually exclusive with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_DWARF_TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT. Users
may want to select this if they are using a newer toolchain, but have
consumers of the DWARF debug info that aren't yet ready for newer DWARF
versions' debug info.

Does so in a way that's forward compatible with existing
configs, and makes adding future versions more straightforward. This
patch does not change the current behavior or selection of DWARF
version for users upgrading to kernels with this patch.

GCC since ~4.8 has defaulted to DWARF v4 implicitly, and GCC 11 has
bumped this to v5.

Remove the Kconfig help text  about DWARF v4 being larger.  It's
empirically false for the latest toolchains for x86_64 defconfig, has no
point of reference (I suspect it was DWARF v2 but that's stil
empirically false), and debug info size is not a qualatative measure.

By default, xz without parameters uses a dictionary size of 8 MB.
However, most modules are much smaller than that.
The xz manpage states that 'increasing dictionary size usually improves
compression ratio, but a dictionary bigger than the uncompressed file
is waste of memory'.
Use a dictionary size of 2 MB for module compression, resulting in
slightly higher compression speed while still maintaining a good
compression ratio.

Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the

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.

This change limits function inlining across translation unit boundaries
in order to reduce the binary size with LTO. The -import-instr-limit
flag defines a size limit, as the number of LLVM IR instructions, for
importing functions from other TUs, defaulting to 100.

Based on testing with arm64 defconfig, we found that a limit of 5 is a
reasonable compromise between performance and binary size, reducing the
size of a stripped vmlinux by 11%.

This change adds build system support for Clang's Link Time
Optimization (LTO). With -flto, instead of ELF object files, Clang
produces LLVM bitcode, which is compiled into native code at link
time, allowing the final binary to be optimized globally. For more
details, see:

  https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html

The Kconfig option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is implemented as a choice,
which defaults to LTO being disabled. To use LTO, the architecture
must select ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG and support:

  - compiling with Clang,
  - compiling all assembly code with Clang's integrated assembler,
  - and linking with LLD.

While using CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL results in the best runtime
performance, the compilation is not scalable in time or
memory. CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN enables ThinLTO, which allows
parallel optimization and faster incremental builds. ThinLTO is
used by default if the architecture also selects
ARCH_SUPPORTS_LTO_CLANG_THIN:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThinLTO.html



To enable LTO, LLVM tools must be used to handle bitcode files, by
passing LLVM=1 and LLVM_IAS=1 options to make:

  $ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
  $ scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
  $ make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1

To prepare for LTO support with other compilers, common parts are
gated behind the CONFIG_LTO option, and LTO can be disabled for
specific files by filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO.
