Ping? It's about 2 months now :)

Hi Nick,

Did you have any thoughts on this patch? It is necessary for enabling
LTO with PowerPC:

https://lore.kernel.org/20220429064547.2334280-1-aik@xxxxxxxxx/

If you don't have anything to send to Linus for the next cycle, perhaps
this patch could be carried by the PowerPC folks with your ack?

Cheers,
Nathan

With CONFIG_ZSTD_COMPRESS=m and CONFIG_ZSTD_DECOMPRESS=y we end up in
a situation when files from lib/zstd/common/ are compiled once to be
linked later for ZSTD_DECOMPRESS (build-in) and ZSTD_COMPRESS (module)
even though CFLAGS are different for builtins and modules.
So far somehow this was not a problem but enabling LLVM LTO exposes
the problem as:

ld.lld: error: linking module flags 'Code Model': IDs have conflicting values in 'lib/built-in.a(zstd_common.o at 5868)' and 'ld-temp.o'

This particular conflict is caused by KBUILD_CFLAGS=-mcmodel=medium vs.
KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE=-mcmodel=large , modules use the large model on
POWERPC as explained at
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/Makefile?h=v5.18-rc4#n127
but the current use of common files is wrong anyway.

This works around the issue by introducing a zstd_common module with
shared code.
