kbuild: rust: keep Rust objects out of Clang LTO with inline helpersgrafted
Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit `objtool` errors such as: vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a: can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) -- the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the `-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach. This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in its own section. Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/*
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description:
+ The /sys/kernel/kexec/* directory contains sysfs files
+ that provide information about the configuration status
+ of kexec and kdump.
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/loaded
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Indicates whether a new kernel image has been loaded
+ into memory using the kexec system call. It shows 1 if
+ a kexec image is present and ready to boot, or 0 if none
+ is loaded.
+User: kexec tools, kdump service
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_loaded
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Indicates whether a crash (kdump) kernel is currently
+ loaded into memory. It shows 1 if a crash kernel has been
+ successfully loaded for panic handling, or 0 if no crash
+ kernel is present.
+User: Kexec tools, Kdump service
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_size
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read/write
+ Shows the amount of memory reserved for loading the crash
+ (kdump) kernel. It reports the size, in bytes, of the
+ crash kernel area defined by the crashkernel= parameter.
+ This interface also allows reducing the crashkernel
+ reservation by writing a smaller value, and the reclaimed
+ space is added back to the system RAM.
+User: Kdump service
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_elfcorehdr_size
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Indicates the preferred size of the memory buffer for the
+ ELF core header used by the crash (kdump) kernel. It defines
+ how much space is needed to hold metadata about the crashed
+ system, including CPU and memory information. This information
+ is used by the user space utility kexec to support updating the
+ in-kernel kdump image during hotplug operations.
+User: Kexec tools
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_cma_ranges
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Provides information about the memory ranges reserved from
+ the Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) area that are allocated
+ to the crash (kdump) kernel. It lists the start and end physical
+ addresses of CMA regions assigned for crashkernel use.
