Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: fix Clang LTO with CONFIG_OBJTOOL=n
Date: Fri, 31 Jan 2025 23:04:01 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250131140407.1392008-1-masahiroy@kernel.org> (raw)

Since commit bede169618c6 ("kbuild: enable objtool for *.mod.o and
additional kernel objects"), Clang LTO builds do not perform any
optimizations when CONFIG_OBJTOOL is disable (e.g., for ARCH=arm64).
This is because every LLVM bitcode file is immediately converted to
ELF format before the object files are linked together.

This commit fixes the breakage.

Fixes: bede169618c6 ("kbuild: enable objtool for *.mod.o and additional kernel objects")
