[PATCH v2 08/13] kbuild: build modules in the same way with/without Clang LTO
From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Tue Aug 31 2021 - 03:41:17 EST
When Clang LTO is enabled, additional intermediate files *.lto.o are
created because LLVM bitcode must be converted to ELF before modpost.
For non-LTO builds:
$(LD) $(LD)
objects ---> <modname>.o -----> <modname>.ko
|
<modname>.mod.o ---/
For Clang LTO builds:
$(AR) $(LD) $(LD)
objects ---> <modname>.o ---> <modname>.lto.o -----> <modname>.ko
|
<modname>.mod.o --/
Since the Clang LTO introduction, Kbuild code is complicated due to
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG conditionals sprinkled everywhere.
Another confusion for Clang LTO builds is, <modname>.o is an archive
that contains LLVM bitcode files. The suffix should be .a instead of .o
To clean up the code, unify the build process of modules, as follows:
$(AR) $(LD) $(LD)
objects ---> <modname>.a ---> <modname>.prelink.o -----> <modname>.ko
|
<modname>.mod.o ------/
Here, 'objects' are either ELF or LLVM bitcode. <modname>.a is an archive,
<modname>.prelink.o is ELF.
