    Pull clang LTO updates from Kees Cook:
     "Clang Link Time Optimization.
    
      This is built on the work done preparing for LTO by arm64 folks,
      tracing folks, etc. This includes the core changes as well as the
      remaining pieces for arm64 (LTO has been the default build method on
      Android for about 3 years now, as it is the prerequisite for the
      Control Flow Integrity protections).
    
      While x86 LTO enablement is done, it depends on some pending objtool
      clean-ups. It's possible that I'll send a "part 2" pull request for
      LTO that includes x86 support.
    
      For merge log posterity, and as detailed in commit dc5723b0
      ("kbuild: add support for Clang LTO"), here is the lt;dr to do an LTO
      build:
    
            make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
            scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
            make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
    
      (To do a cross-compile of arm64, add "CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-"
      and "ARCH=arm64" to the "make" command lines.)
    
      Summary:
    
       - Clang LTO build infrastructure and arm64-specific enablement (Sami
         Tolvanen)
    
       - Recursive build CC_FLAGS_LTO fix (Alexander Lobakin)"
