Merge tag 'hardening-v5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull compiler hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "These are various compiler-related hardening feature updates. Notable
  is the addition of an explicit limited rationale for, and deprecation
  schedule of, gcc-plugins.

  gcc-plugins:
   - remove support for GCC 4.9 and older (Ard Biesheuvel)
   - remove duplicate include in gcc-common.h (Ye Guojin)
   - Explicitly document purpose and deprecation schedule (Kees Cook)
   - Remove cyc_complexity (Kees Cook)

  instrumentation:
   - Avoid harmless Clang option under CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO (Kees Cook)

  Clang LTO:
   - kallsyms: strip LTO suffixes from static functions (Nick Desaulniers)"

+Purpose
+=======
+
+GCC plugins are designed to provide a place to experiment with potential
+compiler features that are neither in GCC nor Clang upstream. Once
+their utility is proven, the goal is to upstream the feature into GCC
+(and Clang), and then to finally remove them from the kernel once the
+feature is available in all supported versions of GCC.
+
+Specifically, new plugins should implement only features that have no
+upstream compiler support (in either GCC or Clang).
+
+When a feature exists in Clang but not GCC, effort should be made to
+bring the feature to upstream GCC (rather than just as a kernel-specific
+GCC plugin), so the entire ecosystem can benefit from it.
+
+Similarly, even if a feature provided by a GCC plugin does *not* exist
+in Clang, but the feature is proven to be useful, effort should be spent
+to upstream the feature to GCC (and Clang).
+
+After a feature is available in upstream GCC, the plugin will be made
+unbuildable for the corresponding GCC version (and later). Once all
+kernel-supported versions of GCC provide the feature, the plugin will
+be removed from the kernel.
