[ Upstream commit 69bc8d386aebbd91a6bb44b6d33f77c8dfa9ed8c ]

The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers
is missing in the kernel tree.

  WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing.
           Modules may not have dependencies or modversions.

I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may
not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire
kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups
for external modules by 'make defconfig &amp;&amp; make modules_preapre'.

A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without
vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers
already exists in spite of its incomplete content.

The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created.

This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into
modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by
concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist.

Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and
modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it
is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it
because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates
  for 5.12-rc1. Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and
  more tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
  maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.

  Included in here are:

   - coresight driver updates

   - habannalabs driver updates

   - virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86 maintainers)

   - broadcom misc driver addition

   - speakup driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - fpga driver updates

   - amba driver updates

   - mei driver updates

   - vfio driver updates

   - greybus driver updates

   - nvmeem driver updates

   - phy driver updates

   - mhi driver updates

   - interconnect driver udpates

   - fsl-mc bus driver updates

   - random driver fix

   - some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only
  reported issue being a merge conflict due to the dfl_device_id
  addition from the fpga subsystem in here"

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 dc5723b02e52
  ("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)"

EXPORT_UNUSED_SYMBOL* is not actually used anywhere.  Remove the
unused functionality as we generally just remove unused code anyway.

With CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, clang generates LLVM IR instead of ELF object
files. As empty.o is used for probing target properties, disable LTO
for it to produce an object file instead.

With LTO, everything is compiled into LLVM bitcode, so we have to link
each module into native code before modpost. Kbuild uses the .lto.o
suffix for these files, which also ends up in module information. This
change strips the unnecessary .lto suffix from the module name.

Device Feature List (DFL) is a linked list of feature headers within the
device MMIO space. It is used by FPGA to enumerate multiple sub features
within it. Each feature can be uniquely identified by DFL type and
feature id, which can be read out from feature headers.

A dfl bus helps DFL framework modularize DFL device drivers for
different sub features. The dfl bus matches its devices and drivers by
DFL type and feature id.

This patch adds dfl bus support to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() by adding info
about struct dfl_device_id in devicetable-offsets.c and add a dfl entry
point in file2alias.c.

<content type='text'>
The Surface Aggregator EC provides varying functionality, depending on
the Surface device. To manage this functionality, we use dedicated
client devices for each subsystem or virtual device of the EC. While
some of these clients are described as standard devices in ACPI and the
corresponding client drivers can be implemented as platform drivers in
the kernel (making use of the controller API already present), many
devices, especially on newer Surface models, cannot be found there.

To simplify management of these devices, we introduce a new bus and
client device type for the Surface Aggregator subsystem. The new device
type takes care of managing the controller reference, essentially
guaranteeing its validity for as long as the client device exists, thus
alleviating the need to manually establish device links for that purpose
in the client driver (as has to be done with the platform devices).
