This change adds the configuration option CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, and build system support for clang's Link Time Optimization (LTO). In preparation for LTO support for other compilers, potentially common parts of the changes are gated behind CONFIG_LTO instead. With -flto, instead of object files, clang produces LLVM bitcode, which is compiled into a native object at link time, allowing the final binary to be optimized globally. For more details, see: https://llvm.org/docs/LinkTimeOptimization.html While the kernel normally uses GNU ld for linking, LLVM supports LTO only with lld or GNU gold linkers. This patch set assumes lld will be used. Bug: 62093296 Bug: 67506682 Bug: 133186739 Change-Id: Ibcd9fc7ec501b4f30b43b4877897615645f8655f Signed-off-by: Sami Tolvanen <samitolvanen@google.com> |
