Nathan reports that when building with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_THIN=y, the
build fails due to BUILD_BUG_ON() not being defined before its uss in
<asm/insn.h>.
The problem is that with LTO, we patch READ_ONCE(), and <asm/rwonce.h>
includes <asm/insn.h>, creating a circular include chain:
<linux/build_bug.h>
<linux/compiler.h>
<asm/rwonce.h>
<asm/alternative-macros.h>
<asm/insn.h>
<linux/build-bug.h>
... and so when <asm/insn.h> includes <linux/build_bug.h>, none of the
BUILD_BUG* definitions have happened yet.
To avoid this, let's move AARCH64_INSN_SIZE into a header without any
dependencies, such that it can always be safely included. At the same
time, avoid including <asm/alternative.h> in <asm/insn.h>, which should
no longer be necessary (and doesn't make sense when insn.h is consumed
by userspace).

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.
