With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, LLVM bitcode has not yet been compiled into a binary when the .mod files are generated, which means they don't yet contain references to certain symbols that will be present in the final binaries. This includes intrinsic functions, such as memcpy, memmove, and memset [1], and stack protector symbols [2]. This change adds a default symbol list to use with CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS when Clang's LTO is used.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
