Pull clang LTO updates from Kees Cook:
 "Clang Link Time Optimization.

  This is built on the work done preparing for LTO by arm64 folks,
  tracing folks, etc. This includes the core changes as well as the
  remaining pieces for arm64 (LTO has been the default build method on
  Android for about 3 years now, as it is the prerequisite for the
  Control Flow Integrity protections).

  While x86 LTO enablement is done, it depends on some pending objtool
  clean-ups. It's possible that I'll send a "part 2" pull request for
  LTO that includes x86 support.

  For merge log posterity, and as detailed in commit dc5723b02e
  ("kbuild: add support for Clang LTO"), here is the lt;dr to do an LTO
  build:

        make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
        scripts/config -e LTO_CLANG_THIN
        make LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1

  (To do a cross-compile of arm64, add "CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-"
  and "ARCH=arm64" to the "make" command lines.)

  Summary:

   - Clang LTO build infrastructure and arm64-specific enablement (Sami
     Tolvanen)

   - Recursive build CC_FLAGS_LTO fix (Alexander Lobakin)"

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
