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.

+SYNOPSIS
+========
+**rtla timerlat hist** [*OPTIONS*] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_description.txt
+
+The **rtla timerlat hist** displays a histogram of each tracer event
+occurrence. This tool uses the periodic information, and the
+**osnoise:** tracepoints are enabled when using the **-T** option.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======

+
+.. include:: common_options.txt
+
+.. include:: common_timerlat_aa.txt
+
+EXAMPLE
+=======
+In the example below, **rtla timerlat hist** is set to run for *10* minutes,
+in the cpus *0-4*, *skipping zero* only lines. Moreover, **rtla timerlat
+hist** will change the priority of the *timerlat* threads to run under
+*SCHED_DEADLINE* priority, with a *100us* runtime every *1ms* period. The
+*1ms* period is also passed to the *timerlat* tracer. Auto-analysis is disabled
+to reduce overhead ::
+
+ [root@alien ~]# timerlat hist -d 10m -c 0-4 -P d:100us:1ms -p 1000 --no-aa
