There has been a long-standing request to support building external
modules in a separate build directory.

This commit introduces a new environment variable, KBUILD_EXTMOD_OUTPUT,
and its shorthand Make variable, MO.

A simple usage:

 $ make -C <kernel-dir> M=<module-src-dir> MO=<module-build-dir>

Currently, Kbuild always operates in the output directory of the kernel,
even when building external modules. This increases the risk of external
module Makefiles attempting to write to the kernel directory.

This commit switches the working directory to the external module
directory, allowing the removal of the $(KBUILD_EXTMOD)/ prefix from
some build artifacts.

The command for building external modules maintains backward
compatibility, but Makefiles that rely on working in the kernel
directory may break. In such cases, $(objtree) and $(srctree) should
be used to refer to the output and source directories of the kernel.

The appearance of the build log will change as follows:

[Before]

  $ make -C /path/to/my/linux M=/path/to/my/externel/module
  make: Entering directory '/path/to/my/linux'
    CC [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.o
    MODPOST /path/to/my/externel/module/Module.symvers
    CC [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.mod.o
    CC [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/.module-common.o
    LD [M]  /path/to/my/externel/module/helloworld.ko
  make: Leaving directory '/path/to/my/linux'

[After]

  $ make -C /path/to/my/linux M=/path/to/my/externel/module

Add the build support for using Clang's Propeller optimizer. Like
AutoFDO, Propeller uses hardware sampling to gather information
about the frequency of execution of different code paths within a
binary. This information is then used to guide the compiler's
optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary.

The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 19 or later, and the
create_llvm_prof tool
(https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1). This
commit is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features
like LBR on Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS.

Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller
optimized kernel:

1) Build the kernel on the host machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller
   build config
      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
      CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
   then
      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile>

“<autofdo_profile>” is the profile collected when doing a non-Propeller
AutoFDO build. This step builds a kernel that has the same optimization
level as AutoFDO, plus a metadata section that records basic block
information. This kernel image runs as fast as an AutoFDO optimized
kernel.

2) Install the kernel on test/production machines.

3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
   event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number,
   like 500009, for this purpose.
   For Intel platforms:
      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
        -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
   For AMD platforms:
      The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
      # To see if Zen3 support LBR:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
      # To see if Zen4 support LBR:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
      # If the result is yes, then collect the profile using:
      $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
        -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>

4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.

5) Generate Propeller profile:
   $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
     --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name \
     --out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt \
     --propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt

   “create_llvm_prof” is the profile conversion tool, and a prebuilt
   binary for linux can be found on
   https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1

 (can also build
   from source).

   "<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like
   "/home/user/dir/any_string".

   This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles:
   "<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and
   "<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt".

6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller profile files.
      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
      CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
   and
      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo_profile> \
        CLANG_PROPELLER_PROFILE_PREFIX=<propeller_profile_prefix>

Enable the machine function split optimization for AutoFDO in Clang.

Machine function split (MFS) is a pass in the Clang compiler that
splits a function into hot and cold parts. The linker groups all
cold blocks across functions together. This decreases hot code
fragmentation and improves iCache and iTLB utilization.

MFS requires a profile so this is enabled only for the AutoFDO builds.

When the -ffunction-sections compiler option is enabled, each function
is placed in a separate section named .text.function_name rather than
putting all functions in a single .text section.

However, using -function-sections can cause problems with the
linker script. The comments included in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
note these issues.:
  “TEXT_MAIN here will match .text.fixup and .text.unlikely if dead
   code elimination is enabled, so these sections should be converted
   to use ".." first.”

It is unclear whether there is a straightforward method for converting
a suffix to "..".

This patch modifies the order of subsections within the text output
section. Specifically, it changes current order:
  .text.hot, .text, .text_unlikely, .text.unknown, .text.asan
to the new order:
  .text.asan, .text.unknown, .text_unlikely, .text.hot, .text

Here is the rationale behind the new layout:

The majority of the code resides in three sections: .text.hot, .text,
and .text.unlikely, with .text.unknown containing a negligible amount.
.text.asan is only generated in ASAN builds.

The primary goal is to group code segments based on their execution
frequency (hotness).

First, we want to place .text.hot adjacent to .text. Since we cannot put
.text.hot after .text (Due to constraints with -ffunction-sections,
placing .text.hot after .text is problematic), we need to put
.text.hot before .text.

Then it comes to .text.unlikely, we cannot put it after .text (same
-ffunction-sections issue) . Therefore, we position .text.unlikely
before .text.hot.

.text.unknown and .tex.asan follow the same logic.

This revised ordering effectively reverses the original arrangement (for
.text.unlikely, .text.unknown, and .tex.asan), maintaining a similar level
of affinity between sections.

It also places .text.hot section at the beginning of a page to better
utilize the TLB entry.

Note that the limitation arises because the linker script employs glob
patterns instead of regular expressions for string matching. While there
is a method to maintain the current order using complex patterns, this
significantly complicates the pattern and increases the likelihood of
errors.

This patch also changes vmlinux.lds.S for the sparc64 architecture to
accommodate specific symbol placement requirements.

In the presence of both weak and strong function definitions, the
linker drops the weak symbol in favor of a strong symbol, but
leaves the code in place. Code in ignore_unreachable_insn() has
some heuristics to suppress the warning, but it does not work when
-ffunction-sections is enabled.

Suppose function foo has both strong and weak definitions.
Case 1: The strong definition has an annotated section name,
like .init.text. Only the weak definition will be placed into
.text.foo. But since the section has no symbols, there will be no
"hole" in the section.

Case 2: Both sections are without an annotated section name.
Both will be placed into .text.foo section, but there will be only one
symbol (the strong one). If the weak code is before the strong code,
there is no "hole" as it fails to find the right-most symbol before
the offset.

The fix is to use the first node to compute the hole if hole.sym
is empty. If there is no symbol in the section, the first node
will be NULL, in which case, -1 is returned to skip the whole
section.

Add the build support for using Clang's AutoFDO. Building the kernel
with AutoFDO does not reduce the optimization level from the
compiler. AutoFDO uses hardware sampling to gather information about
the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary.
This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization
decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. Experiments
showed that the kernel can improve up to 10% in latency.

The support requires a Clang compiler after LLVM 17. This submission
is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on
Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Support for SPE on ARM 1,
 and BRBE on ARM 1 is part of planned future work.

Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel:

1) Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled, for example,
       $ make menuconfig LLVM=1
    Turn on AutoFDO build config:
      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
    With a configuration that has LLVM enabled, use the following
    command:
       scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG
    After getting the config, build with
      $ make LLVM=1

2) Install the kernel on the test machine.

3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
   event period. We suggest     using a suitable prime number,
   like 500009, for this purpose.
   For Intel platforms:
      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
        -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
   For AMD platforms:
      The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
     For Zen3:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
      For Zen4:
      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
      $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
        -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>

4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.

5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available:
   create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part
   of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub
   (https://github.com/google/autofdo

), version v0.30.1 or later. The
   llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's
   important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to
   match the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release or
   later, or from the LLVM trunk.
      $ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> \
        -o <profile_file>
   or
      $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
        --format=extbinary --out=<profile_file>

   Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via:
      $ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file>  <profile_1> ... <profile_n>

6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config
   as step 1, (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled):
      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file>

There is no need to prune the rust/alloc directory because it was

There is no need to prune the rust/test directory because no '*.rs'
files are generated within it.

To avoid forking the 'grep -Fv generated' process, filter out generated
files using the option, ! -name '*generated*'.

Now that the '-path ... -prune' option is no longer used, there is no
need to use the absolute path. Searching in $(srctree), which can be
a relative path, is sufficient.

The comment mentions the use case where $(srctree) is '..', that is,
$(objtree) is a sub-directory of $(srctree). In this scenario, all
'*.rs' files under $(objtree) are generated files and filters out by
the '*generated*' pattern.

Add $(RCS_FIND_IGNORE) as a shortcut. Although I do not believe '*.rs'
files would exist under the .git directory, there is no need for the
'find' command to traverse it.
