From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>

Resend this patch:

ChangeLog:
  V3: (1) updated the base;
      (2) changed vmlinux.lds.S for arm64 to avoid the warnings
          from .llvm_bb_addr_map. 

Rong Xu (2):
  kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for AutoFDO
  kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for Propeller

[PATCH v3 1/2] kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for AutoFDO

[xur]

From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>

The CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_AUTOFDO_CLANG and allow users to control AutoFDO
builds solely through CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG. This simplifies the kconfig
and avoids potential confusion.

[PATCH v3 2/2] kconfig: Remove the architecture specific config for Propeller

[xur]

From: Rong Xu <xur@google.com>

The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

For arm64, change vmlinux.lds.S to ensure the .llvm_bb_addr_map is
explicitly placed within its own section.
