Subject[PATCH v6 05/10] kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT
Date
When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted
to ELF.

CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.

This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look
similar with/without LTO.

The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and
how this commit is changing it.

Current build flow
==================

[1] single-object module

$(LD)
$(CC) +objtool $(LD)
foo.c --------------------> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
(LLVM IR) (ELF) |
|
foo.mod.o --/

[2] multi-object module
$(LD)
$(CC) $(AR) +objtool $(LD)
foo1.c -----> foo1.o -----> foo.o -----> foo.prelink.o -----> foo.ko
| (archive) (ELF) |
foo2.c -----> foo2.o --/ |
(LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/

One confusion is foo.o in multi-object module is an archive despite of
its suffix.

New build flow
==============

[1] single-object module

Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR.
Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO
is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object.

$(CC)+$(LD)+objtool $(LD)
foo.c ----------------------------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
(ELF) |
|
foo.mod.o --/

[2] multi-object module

Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM bitcode into an archive,
but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them
into a single ELF object.

$(LD)
$(CC) +objtool $(LD)
foo1.c ---------> foo1.o ---------> foo.o ---------> foo.ko
| (ELF) |
foo2.c ---------> foo2.o ----/ |
(LLVM IR) foo.mod.o --/
