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.

+Apple Touchpad Driver (appletouch)
+----------------------------------
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2005 Stelian Pop <stelian@popies.net>
+
+appletouch is a Linux kernel driver for the USB touchpad found on post
+February 2005 and October 2005 Apple Aluminium Powerbooks.
+
+This driver is derived from Johannes Berg's appletrackpad driver [#f1]_,
+but it has been improved in some areas:
+
+ * appletouch is a full kernel driver, no userspace program is necessary
+ * appletouch can be interfaced with the synaptics X11 driver, in order
+ to have touchpad acceleration, scrolling, etc.
+
+Credits go to Johannes Berg for reverse-engineering the touchpad protocol,
+Frank Arnold for further improvements, and Alex Harper for some additional
+information about the inner workings of the touchpad sensors. Michael
+Hanselmann added support for the October 2005 models.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+In order to use the touchpad in the basic mode, compile the driver and load
+the module. A new input device will be detected and you will be able to read
+the mouse data from /dev/input/mice (using gpm, or X11).
+
+In X11, you can configure the touchpad to use the synaptics X11 driver, which
+will give additional functionalities, like acceleration, scrolling, 2 finger
+tap for middle button mouse emulation, 3 finger tap for right button mouse
+emulation, etc. In order to do this, make sure you're using a recent version of
+the synaptics driver (tested with 0.14.2, available from [#f2]_), and configure
+a new input device in your X11 configuration file (take a look below for an
+example). For additional configuration, see the synaptics driver documentation::

+
+Fuzz problems
+-------------
+
+The touchpad sensors are very sensitive to heat, and will generate a lot of
+noise when the temperature changes. This is especially true when you power-on
+the laptop for the first time.
+
+The appletouch driver tries to handle this noise and auto adapt itself, but it
+is not perfect. If finger movements are not recognized anymore, try reloading
+the driver.
+
+You can activate debugging using the 'debug' module parameter. A value of 0
+deactivates any debugging, 1 activates tracing of invalid samples, 2 activates
+full tracing (each sample is being traced)::
+
+ modprobe appletouch debug=1
+
+or::
+
+ echo "1" > /sys/module/appletouch/parameters/debug
