After commit 600605853f ("scripts/gen-btf.sh: Fix .btf.o generation
when compiling for RISCV"), there is an error from llvm-objcopy when
CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled:
llvm-objcopy: error: '.tmp_vmlinux1.btf.o': The file was not recognized as a valid object file
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
KBUILD_CFLAGS includes CC_FLAGS_LTO, which makes clang emit an LLVM IR
object, rather than an ELF one as expected by llvm-objcopy.
Most areas of the kernel deal with this by filtering out CC_FLAGS_LTO
from KBUILD_CFLAGS for the particular object or directory but this is
not so easy to do in bash. Just include '-fno-lto' after KBUILD_CFLAGS
to ensure an ELF object is consistently created as the initial .o file.
Additionally, while there is no reported or discovered bug yet, the
absence of KBUILD_CPPFLAGS from this command could result in incorrect
endianness because KBUILD_CPPFLAGS typically contains '-mbig-endian' and
'-mlittle-endian' so that biendian toolchains can be used. Include it in
this ${CC} command to hopefully limit necessary changes to this command
for the foreseeable future.
