When building arm64 defconfig + CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_{FULL,THIN}=y after
commit 558c303c9734 ("arm64: Mitigate spectre style branch history side
channels"), the following error occurs:
<instantiation>:4:2: error: invalid fixup for movz/movk instruction
mov w0, #ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3
^
Marc figured out that moving "#include <linux/init.h>" in
include/linux/arm-smccc.h into a !__ASSEMBLY__ block resolves it. The
full include chain with CONFIG_LTO=y from include/linux/arm-smccc.h:
include/linux/init.h
include/linux/compiler.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/alternative-macros.h
arch/arm64/include/asm/assembler.h
The asm/alternative-macros.h include in asm/rwonce.h only happens when
CONFIG_LTO is set, which ultimately casues asm/assembler.h to be
included before the definition of ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3. As a
result, the preprocessor does not expand ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 in
__mitigate_spectre_bhb_fw, which results in the error above.
Avoid this problem by just avoiding the CONFIG_LTO=y __READ_ONCE() block
in asm/rwonce.h with assembly files, as nothing in that block is useful
to assembly files, which allows ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_3 to be
properly expanded with CONFIG_LTO=y builds.

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.
