[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.1] arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c

[Sasha Levin]

From: Menglong Dong <menglong8.dong@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:

Based on my thorough investigation, I can now provide a comprehensive
analysis of this commit.

## **Backport Analysis: COMPILE_OFFSETS Commit**

**Backport Status: YES** (with important conditions)

### Summary

This commit adds `#define COMPILE_OFFSETS` to all architecture-specific
asm-offsets.c files. It is a **preparatory infrastructure patch** that
enables the generation of additional offset header files while avoiding
circular dependency issues during the kernel build process.

### Critical Context

This commit (upstream: 35561bab76897) is **inseparable** from its
companion commit:
- **378b7708194ff**: "sched: Make migrate_{en,dis}able() inline"

These two commits form a **mandatory pair** where:
1. The COMPILE_OFFSETS commit prepares the build infrastructure
2. The migrate_enable/disable commit actually uses this infrastructure
   to generate `include/generated/rq-offsets.h`

### Why This Should Be Backported

1. **Already being backported**: The companion commit (378b7708194ff) is
   already tagged for stable backport (as commit d0e888caa43cc shows `[
   Upstream commit 378b7708194fff77c9020392067329931c3fcc04 ]`)

2. **Build dependency**: Without this COMPILE_OFFSETS commit, the
   migrate_enable/disable backport will **fail to build** due to
   circular dependency:
   - `asm-offsets.c` includes `<linux/sched.h>`
   - `<linux/sched.h>` will include `<generated/rq-offsets.h>`
   - But `rq-offsets.h` doesn't exist yet when generating `asm-
     offsets.h`
   - The COMPILE_OFFSETS macro allows conditional inclusion to break
     this cycle

3. **Performance improvement for BPF**: The complete patch series
   improves BPF FENTRY performance from ~113M/s to ~150M/s (27-32%
   improvement) by inlining migrate_enable/disable functions

4. **Low risk**: This commit only adds a simple `#define` to each asm-
   offsets.c file with no functional changes to any existing code paths

### Code Changes Analysis

The changes are identical across all 23 architectures:
- **alpha, arc, arm, arm64, csky, hexagon, loongarch, m68k, microblaze,
  mips, nios2, openrisc, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sh, sparc, um,
  xtensa**

Each file receives:
```c
+#define COMPILE_OFFSETS
```

This macro is used in header files (specifically
`include/linux/sched.h`) to conditionally guard includes:
```c
#ifndef COMPILE_OFFSETS
#include <generated/rq-offsets.h>
#endif
```

### Dependencies

- **Must be backported together with**: commit 378b7708194ff
- **Order matters**: COMPILE_OFFSETS must be applied first (or in same
  merge)
- **No standalone value**: This commit has no effect without the follow-
  up changes

### Risk Assessment

- **Risk Level**: Low
- **Regression Potential**: Minimal - only adds a preprocessor
  definition
- **Testing**: Should build-test on all architectures
- **Compatibility**: X86_64 already had this pattern since 2011 (commit
  b82fef82d567)

### References

- Upstream commits: 35561bab76897 (this one) → 378b7708194ff (migrate
  inline)
- Author: Menglong Dong <dongml2@chinatelecom.cn>
- Maintainer: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org>
- Subsystem: Scheduler / Build infrastructure

**Conclusion**: This is a mandatory prerequisite patch that must be
backported alongside its companion commit to avoid build breakage. The
stable maintainers should ensure both patches are applied together in
the correct order.
