create-build-diff expects .cold functions to be suffixed by an id, which
is not always the case. Drop the trailing '.' when searching for cold
functions.

It turns out there is a stretch of time in kernel's history when
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF was already added, but Makefile.modfinal wasn't
split off yet. To address those we need to either check the file's
existance or, as @liu-song-6 suggested initially, check config for
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES=y.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES, the kernel build process adds BTF to
each in-tree modules. However, this process is broken with kpatch, with
error message like:
Failed to parse base BTF 'vmlinux': -4001
Unblock build with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF_MODULES with similar workaround
as the one for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF.

Add support for clang-built kernels. This is completely automatic, we
check if the kernel was built with clang by looking for
CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG in config.
This has almost no effect on non-clang built kernels with one exception:
we now do compliler checks _after_ we download kernel sources which is a
waste of resources in case when compilers don't match.

kpatch-build requires gcc flags -f[function|data]-sections when building
original and patched targets. These flags result in an ELF binary with
many sections, potentially requiring special extended ELF header
processing to parse correctly.
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF invokes pahole as part of the kernel build and
unfortunately pahole cannot iterate through more than 65535 section
headers. As result, the pahole program segfaults and fails the build
like so:
...
BTF .btf.vmlinux.bin.o
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: line 127: 718345 Segmentation fault (core dumped) LLVM_OBJCOPY=${OBJCOPY} ${PAHOLE} -J ${1}
objcopy: --change-section-vma .BTF=0x0000000000000000 never used
objcopy: --change-section-lma .BTF=0x0000000000000000 never used
objcopy: error: the input file '.btf.vmlinux.bin' is empty
Failed to generate BTF for vmlinux
Try to disable CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
make: *** [Makefile:1050: vmlinux] Error 1
Workaround this limitation by disabling CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF code in
scripts/vmlinux-link.sh during kpatch-build. This leaves
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF contingent kernel code in place, but skips the
problematic pahole .BTF typeinfo generation step (for which kpatch
doesn't care about anyway).

Starting with v5.10 kbuild no longer builds built-in targets for
external modules (including extra-y). Further it wasn't guaranteed that
extra-y targets were going to be built before linking.
Do a proper thing and add kpatch.lds as a dependency for $(KPATCH_NAME).o.

There exists a very small timing window in which "kpatch unload" gets to
its "rmmod" step before the kpatch-patch module's reference count has
cleared and the "rmmod" fails.
This is only a transient problem, but we can adopt code from upstream
livepatch kselftests which wait for the module refcounts to settle
before moving onto "rmmod".
A small wrinkle is that this is not supported by the older kpatch.ko
core. The price for circumventing the activeness safety check via
KPATCH_FORCE_UNSAFE is that it must leave the kpatch patch modules in
place (see e1890e627a ("prevent rmmod of forced modules")).
