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:

- support "prefer busy polling" NAPI operation mode, where we defer
softirq for some time expecting applications to periodically busy
poll

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 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

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

central place

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
...
CC [M] drivers/acpi/button.o
MODPOST drivers/acpi/Module.symvers

Skipping BTF generation for drivers/acpi/button.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux
...
$ readelf -S ~/linux-build/default/drivers/acpi/button.ko | grep BTF -A1
... empty ...

Now with normal build:

$ make all

BTF [M] drivers/acpi/button.ko
...
$ readelf -S ~/linux-build/default/drivers/acpi/button.ko | grep BTF -A1

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.

[0] https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/list/?series=378699&state=*

v3->v4:
- copy_to_user() on ENOSPC in btf_get_info_by_fd() (Martin);
v2->v3:
- get rid of unnecessary gotos (Song);
v2->v1:
- drop WARNs, add fewer pr_warn()'s instead (Greg);
- properly initialize sysfs binary attribute structure (Greg);
- add __maybe_unused to any_section_objs, used conditionally by module BTF;
rfc->v1:
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES is derived automatically (Alexei);
- vmlinux BTF now has explicit "vmlinux" name (Alexei);
- added sysfs ABI documentation for /sys/kernel/btf/<module> (Greg).

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.

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 ...
