[PATCH 0/7] ARM: hacks for link-time optimization

[Arnd Bergmann]

Hi Nico, all,

I was playing with ARM link-time optimization handling earlier this
month, and eventually got it to build cleanly with randconfig kernels,
but ended up with a lot of ugly hacks to actually pull it off.

Here are the ones that I don't think we actually want to merge,
but it may be helpful to have these for reference for the next
person that tries to make it work.

Arnd Bergmann (7):
  ARM: disallow combining XIP and LTO
  ARM: LTO: avoid THUMB2_KERNEL+LTO
  [HACK] pass endianess flag to LTO linker
  ARM: io-acorn: fix LTO linking without CONFIG_PRINTK
  ARM: fix __inflate_kernel_data stack warning for LTO
  ARM: mark assembler-referenced symbols as __visible
  efi: disable LTO for EFI stub
