kbuild: add support for Clang LTO
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.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski: "Core:
- support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy poll
- AF_XDP: improve efficiency by more batching and hindering the adjacency cache prefetcher
- af_packet: make packet_fanout.arr size configurable up to 64K
- tcp: optimize TCP zero copy receive in presence of partial or unaligned reads making zero copy a performance win for much smaller messages
- XDP: add bulk APIs for returning / freeing frames
- sched: support fragmenting IP packets as they come out of conntrack
- net: allow virtual netdevs to forward UDP L4 and fraglist GSO skbs
BPF:
- BPF switch from crude rlimit-based to memcg-based memory accounting
- BPF type format information for kernel modules and related tracing enhancements
- BPF implement task local storage for BPF LSM
- allow the FENTRY/FEXIT/RAW_TP tracing programs to use bpf_sk_storage
Protocols:
- mptcp: improve multiple xmit streams support, memory accounting and many smaller improvements
- TLS: support CHACHA20-POLY1305 cipher
- seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT4/DT6 behavior
- sctp: Implement RFC 6951: UDP Encapsulation of SCTP
- ppp_generic: add ability to bridge channels directly
- bridge: Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) support as is defined in IEEE 802.1Q section 12.14.
Drivers:
- mlx5: make use of the new auxiliary bus to organize the driver internals
- mlx5: more accurate port TX timestamping support

- iwlwifi: support new 6 GHz frequency band
- ath11k: Fast Initial Link Setup (FILS)
- mt7915: dual band concurrent (DBDC) support
- net: ipa: add basic support for IPA v4.5
Refactor:
- a few pieces of in_interrupt() cleanup work from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
- phy: add support for shared interrupts; get rid of multiple driver APIs and have the drivers write a full IRQ handler, slight growth of driver code should be compensated by the simpler API which also allows shared IRQs
- add common code for handling netdev per-cpu counters
- move TX packet re-allocation from Ethernet switch tag drivers to a central place
- improve efficiency and rename nla_strlcpy
- number of W=1 warning cleanups as we now catch those in a patchwork build bot

kbuild: Skip module BTF generation for out-of-tree external modules
In some modes of operation, Kbuild allows to build modules without having vmlinux image around. In such case, generation of module BTF is impossible. This patch changes the behavior to emit a warning about impossibility of generating kernel module BTF, instead of breaking the build. This is especially important for out-of-tree external module builds.
In vmlinux-less mode:
$ make clean $ make modules_prepare $ touch drivers/acpi/button.c $ make M=drivers/acpi ...

Now with normal build:
$ make all ... LD [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko BTF [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko ... $ readelf -S ~/linux-build/default/drivers/acpi/button.ko | grep BTF -A1 [60] .BTF PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00029310 000000000000ab3f 0000000000000000 0 0 1

5) Add XDP bulk APIs that introduce a defer/flush mechanism to optimize the XDP_REDIRECT path, from Lorenzo Bianconi.
6) Fix a potential (although rather theoretical) deadlock of hashtab in NMI context, from Song Liu.
7) Fixes for cross and out-of-tree build of bpftool and runqslower allowing build for different target archs on same source tree, from Jean-Philippe Brucker.
8) Fix error path in htab_map_alloc() triggered from syzbot, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Move functionality from test_tcpbpf_user into the test_progs framework so it can run in BPF CI, from Alexander Duyck.
10) Lift hashtab key_size limit to be larger than MAX_BPF_STACK, from Florian Lehner.
Note that for the fix from Song we have seen a sparse report on context imbalance which requires changes in sparse itself for proper annotation detection where this is currently being discussed on linux-sparse among developers [0]. Once we have more clarification/guidance after their fix, Song will follow-up.

Merge branch 'Integrate kernel module BTF support'
Andrii Nakryiko says:
====================
This patch set adds BTF generation for kernel modules using a compact split BTF approach. Respective patches have all the details.
Kernel module BTFs rely on pahole's split BTF support, which is added in [0] and will be available starting from v1.19. Support for it is detected automatically during kernel build time.
This patch set implements in-kernel support for split BTF loading and validation. It also extends GET_OBJ_INFO API for BTFs to return BTF's module name and a flag whether BTF itself is in-kernel or user-provided. vmlinux BTF is also exposed to user-space through the same BTF object iteration APIs.
Follow up patch set will utilize the fact that vmlinux and module BTFs now have associated ID to provide ability to attach BPF fentry/fexit/etc programs to functions defined in kernel modules.
bpftool is also extended to show module/vmlinux BTF's name.

kbuild: Build kernel module BTFs if BTF is enabled and pahole supports it
Detect if pahole supports split BTF generation, and generate BTF for each selected kernel module, if it does. This is exposed to Makefiles and C code as CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES flag.
Kernel module BTF has to be re-generated if either vmlinux's BTF changes or module's .ko changes. To achieve that, I needed a helper similar to if_changed, but that would allow to filter out vmlinux from the list of updated dependencies for .ko building. I've put it next to the only place that uses and needs it, but it might be a better idea to just add it along the other if_changed variants into scripts/Kbuild.include.
Each kernel module's BTF deduplication is pretty fast, as it does only incremental BTF deduplication on top of already deduplicated vmlinux BTF. To show the added build time, I've first ran make only just built kernel (to establish the baseline) and then forced only BTF re-generation, without regenerating .ko files. The build was performed with -j60 parallelization on 56-core machine. The final time also includes bzImage building, so it's not a pure BTF overhead.
$ time make -j60 ... make -j60 27.65s user 10.96s system 782% cpu 4.933 total $ touch ~/linux-build/default/vmlinux && time make -j60 ... make -j60 123.69s user 27.85s system 1566% cpu 9.675 total
So 4.6 seconds real time, with noticeable part spent in compressed vmlinux and bzImage building.
To show size savings, I've built my kernel configuration with about 700 kernel modules with full BTF per each kernel module (without deduplicating against vmlinux) and with split BTF against deduplicated vmlinux (approach in this patch). Below are top 10 modules with biggest BTF sizes. And total size of BTF data across all kernel modules.
It shows that split BTF "compresses" 115MB down to 5MB total. And the biggest kernel modules get a downsize from 500-570KB down to 200-300KB.
FULL BTF ========
$ for f in $(find . -name '*.ko'); do size -A -d $f | grep BTF | awk '{print $2}'; done | awk '{ s += $1 } END { print s }' 115710691

Merge branch 'linus' into perf/kprobes
Conflicts: include/asm-generic/atomic-instrumented.h kernel/kprobes.c
Use the upstream atomic-instrumented.h checksum, and pick the kprobes version of kernel/kprobes.c, which effectively reverts this upstream workaround:
645f224e7ba2: ("kprobes: Tell lockdep about kprobe nesting")
Since the new code *should* be fine without nesting.
Knock on wood ...
