Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.
A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.
I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.
I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.
- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.
This commit gets rid of the latter.
Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.
With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.
There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.
$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.
Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.
The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.
Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.

While watching Michael's new talk on Clang-built-Linux, I noticed the
arch table in our docs that he refers to is outdated.
Add hexagon and User Mode. Bump MIPS and RISCV to LLVM=1. PowerPC is
almost LLVM=1 capable; ppc64le works, but ppc64 (big endian) and ppc32
still need more work.

randomization seed generation out of scripts/gcc-plugins/ into
scripts/basic/ so it happens early enough that it can be used by either
compiler implementation. The gcc-plugin still builds its own header file,

The LLVM make variable allows a developer to quickly switch between the
GNU and LLVM tools. However, it does not handle versioned binaries, such
as the ones shipped by Debian, as LLVM=1 just defines the tool variables
with the unversioned binaries.
There was some discussion during the review of the patch that introduces
LLVM=1 around versioned binaries, ultimately coming to the conclusion
that developers can just add the folder that contains the unversioned
binaries to their PATH, as Debian's versioned suffixed binaries are
really just symlinks to the unversioned binaries in /usr/lib/llvm-#/bin:
$ realpath /usr/bin/clang-14
/usr/lib/llvm-14/bin/clang
$ PATH=/usr/lib/llvm-14/bin:$PATH make ... LLVM=1
However, that can be cumbersome to developers who are constantly testing
series with different toolchains and versions. It is simple enough to
support these versioned binaries directly in the Kbuild system by
allowing the developer to specify the version suffix with LLVM=, which
is shorter than the above suggestion:
$ make ... LLVM=-14
It does not change the meaning of LLVM=1 (which will continue to use
unversioned binaries) and it does not add too much additional complexity
to the existing $(LLVM) code, while allowing developers to quickly test
their series with different versions of the whole LLVM suite of tools.
Some developers may build LLVM from source but not add the binaries to
their PATH, as they may not want to use that toolchain systemwide.
Support those developers by allowing them to supply the directory that
the LLVM tools are available in, as it is no more complex to support
than the version suffix change above.
$ make ... LLVM=/path/to/llvm/
Update and reorder the documentation to reflect these new additions.
At the same time, notate that LLVM=0 is not the same as just omitting it
altogether, which has confused people in the past.

Allow additional arguments be passed to userprogs compilation.
Reproducible clang builds need to provide a sysroot and gcc path to
ensure the same toolchain is used across hosts. KCFLAGS is not currently
used for any user programs compilation, so add new USERCFLAGS and
USERLDFLAGS which serves similar purpose as HOSTCFLAGS/HOSTLDFLAGS.
Clang might detect GCC installation on hosts which have it installed
to a default location in /. With addition of these environment
variables, you can specify flags such as:
$ make USERCFLAGS=--sysroot=/path/to/sysroot
This can also be used to specify different sysroots such as musl or
bionic which may be installed on the host in paths that the compiler
may not search by default.

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for
cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement.
Since commit d92cc4d516 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for
all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j)
for "make clean".
I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep"
target no longer exists.

LLVM_IAS=1 controls enabling clang's integrated assembler via
-integrated-as. This was an explicit opt in until we could enable
assembler support in Clang for more architecures. Now we have support
and CI coverage of LLVM_IAS=1 for all architecures except a few more
bugs affecting s390 and powerpc.
This commit flips the default from opt in via LLVM_IAS=1 to opt out via
LLVM_IAS=0. CI systems or developers that were previously doing builds
with CC=clang or LLVM=1 without explicitly setting LLVM_IAS must now
explicitly opt out via LLVM_IAS=0, otherwise they will be implicitly
opted-in.
This finally shortens the command line invocation when cross compiling
with LLVM to simply:

"defconfig_list" is a weird option that defines a static symbol that
declares the list of base config files in case the .config does not
exist yet.
This is quite different from other normal symbols; we just abused the
"string" type and the "default" properties to list out the input files.
They must be fixed values since these are searched for and loaded in
the parse stage.
It is an ugly hack, and should not exist in the first place. Providing
this feature as an environment variable is a saner approach.

Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the
'python' command any more.
As in commit 51839e29cb ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"),
we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they
are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing
users to 'PYTHON3'.
BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful
material.

The most common question around building the Linux kernel with clang is
"does it work?" and the answer has always been "it depends on your
architecture, configuration, and LLVM version" with no hard answers for
users wanting to experiment. LLVM support has significantly improved
over the past couple of years, resulting in more architectures and
configurations supported, and continuous integration has made it easier
to see what works and what does not.
Add a section that goes over what architectures are supported in the
current kernel version, how they should be built (with just clang or the
LLVM utilities as well), and the level of support they receive. This
will make it easier for people to try out building their kernel with
LLVM and reporting issues that come about from it.

This document was written a long time ago. Update it.
[1] Drop the version information
The range of the supported GCC versions are always changing. The
current minimal GCC version is 4.9, and commit 1e860048c5
("gcc-plugins: simplify GCC plugin-dev capability test") removed the
old code accordingly.
We do not need to mention specific version ranges like "all gcc versions
from 4.5 to 6.0" since we forget to update the documentation when we
raise the minimal compiler version.
[2] Drop the C compiler statements
Since commit 77342a02ff ("gcc-plugins: drop support for GCC <= 4.7")
the GCC plugin infrastructure only supports g++.
[3] Drop supported architectures
As of v5.11-rc4, the infrastructure supports more architectures;
arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, riscv, s390, um, and x86. (just grep
"select HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS") Again, we miss to update this document when a
new architecture is supported. Let's just say "only some architectures".
[4] Update the apt-get example
We are now discussing to bump the minimal version to GCC 5. The GCC 4.9
support will be removed sooner or later. Change the package example to
gcc-10-plugin-dev while we are here.
[5] Update the build target
Since commit ce2fd53a10 ("kbuild: descend into scripts/gcc-plugins/
via scripts/Makefile"), "make gcc-plugins" is not supported.
"make scripts" builds all the enabled plugins, including some other
tools.
[6] Update the steps for adding a new plugin
At first, all CONFIG options for GCC plugins were located in arch/Kconfig.
After commit 45332b1bdf ("gcc-plugins: split out Kconfig entries to
scripts/gcc-plugins/Kconfig"), scripts/gcc-plugins/Kconfig became the
central place to collect plugin CONFIG options. In my understanding,
this requirement no longer exists because commit 9f671e5815 ("security:
Create "kernel hardening" config area") moved some of plugin CONFIG
options to another file. Find an appropriate place to add the new CONFIG.
The sub-directory support was never used by anyone, and removed by
commit c17d6179ad ("gcc-plugins: remove unused GCC_PLUGIN_SUBDIR").
Remove the useless $(src)/ prefix.
