+===================================
+Using AutoFDO with the Linux kernel
+===================================
+
+This enables AutoFDO build support for the kernel when using
+the Clang compiler. AutoFDO (Auto-Feedback-Directed Optimization)
+is a type of profile-guided optimization (PGO) used to enhance the
+performance of binary executables. It gathers information about the
+frequency of execution of various code paths within a binary using
+hardware sampling. This data is then used to guide the compiler's
+optimization decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. AutoFDO
+is a powerful optimization technique, and data indicates that it can
+significantly improve kernel performance. It's especially beneficial
+for workloads affected by front-end stalls.
+
+For AutoFDO builds, unlike non-FDO builds, the user must supply a
+profile. Acquiring an AutoFDO profile can be done in several ways.
+AutoFDO profiles are created by converting hardware sampling using
+the "perf" tool. It is crucial that the workload used to create these
+perf files is representative; they must exhibit runtime
+characteristics similar to the workloads that are intended to be
+optimized. Failure to do so will result in the compiler optimizing
+for the wrong objective.
+
+The AutoFDO profile often encapsulates the program's behavior. If the
+performance-critical codes are architecture-independent, the profile
+can be applied across platforms to achieve performance gains. For
+instance, using the profile generated on Intel architecture to build
+a kernel for AMD architecture can also yield performance improvements.
+
+There are two methods for acquiring a representative profile:
+(1) Sample real workloads using a production environment.
+(2) Generate the profile using a representative load test.
+When enabling the AutoFDO build configuration without providing an
+AutoFDO profile, the compiler only modifies the dwarf information in
+the kernel without impacting runtime performance. It's advisable to
+use a kernel binary built with the same AutoFDO configuration to
+collect the perf profile. While it's possible to use a kernel built
+with different options, it may result in inferior performance.
+
+One can collect profiles using AutoFDO build for the previous kernel.
+AutoFDO employs relative line numbers to match the profiles, offering
+some tolerance for source changes. This mode is commonly used in a
+production environment for profile collection.
+
+In a profile collection based on a load test, the AutoFDO collection
+process consists of the following steps:
+
+#. Initial build: The kernel is built with AutoFDO options
+   without a profile.
+
+#. Profiling: The above kernel is then run with a representative
+   workload to gather execution frequency data. This data is
+   collected using hardware sampling, via perf. AutoFDO is most
+   effective on platforms supporting advanced PMU features like
+   LBR on Intel machines.
+
+#. AutoFDO profile generation: Perf output file is converted to
+   the AutoFDO profile via offline tools.
+
+The support requires a Clang compiler LLVM 17 or later.
+
+Preparation
+===========
+
+Configure the kernel with::
+
+   CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+
+Customization
+=============
+
+The default CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG setting covers kernel space objects for
+AutoFDO builds. One can, however, enable or disable AutoFDO build for
+individual files and directories by adding a line similar to the following
+to the respective kernel Makefile:
+
+- For enabling a single file (e.g. foo.o) ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE_foo.o := y
+
+- For enabling all files in one directory ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE := y
+
+- For disabling one file ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE_foo.o := n
+
+- For disabling all files in one directory ::
+
+   AUTOFDO_PROFILE := n
+
+Workflow
+========
+
+Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel:
+
+1)  Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled,
+    for example, ::
+
+      $ make menuconfig LLVM=1
+
+    Turn on AutoFDO build config::
+
+      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+
+    With a configuration that with LLVM enabled, use the following command::
+
+      $ scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG
+
+    After getting the config, build with ::
+
+      $ make LLVM=1
+
+2) Install the kernel on the test machine.
+
+3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
+   event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009,
+   for this purpose.
+
+   - For Intel platforms::
+
+      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
+
+   - For AMD platforms:
+
+     The supported systems are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2. To check,
+
+     For Zen3::
+
+      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
+
+     For Zen4::
+
+      $ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
+
+     The following command generated the perf data file::
+
+      $ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
+
+4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.
+
+5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available:
+   create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part
+   of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub
+   (https://github.com/google/autofdo), version v0.30.1 or later.
+   The llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's
+   important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to match
+   the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release of Clang
+   or later, or just from the LLVM trunk. ::
+
+      $ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> -o <profile_file>
+
+   or ::
+
+      $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> --format=extbinary --out=<profile_file>
+
+   Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via::
+
+      $ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file> <profile_1> <profile_2> ... <profile_n>
+
+6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config as step 1,
+   (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled)::
+
+      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file>

Documentation/dev-tools/coccinelle.rst

···
 - Your directory from which spatch is called is processed next
 - The directory provided with the ``--dir`` option is processed last, if used
 
-Since coccicheck runs through make, it naturally runs from the kernel
-proper dir; as such the second rule above would be implied for picking up a
-.cocciconfig when using ``make coccicheck``.
-
 ``make coccicheck`` also supports using M= targets. If you do not supply
 any M= target, it is assumed you want to target the entire kernel.
 The kernel coccicheck script has::
 
-    if [ "$KBUILD_EXTMOD" = "" ] ; then
-        OPTIONS="--dir $srctree $COCCIINCLUDE"
-    else
-        OPTIONS="--dir $KBUILD_EXTMOD $COCCIINCLUDE"
-    fi
+    OPTIONS="--dir $srcroot $COCCIINCLUDE"
 
-KBUILD_EXTMOD is set when an explicit target with M= is used. For both cases
-the spatch ``--dir`` argument is used, as such third rule applies when whether
-M= is used or not, and when M= is used the target directory can have its own
-.cocciconfig file. When M= is not passed as an argument to coccicheck the
-target directory is the same as the directory from where spatch was called.
+Here, $srcroot refers to the source directory of the target: it points to the
+external module's source directory when M= used, and otherwise, to the kernel
+source directory. The third rule ensures the spatch reads the .cocciconfig from
+the target directory, allowing external modules to have their own .cocciconfig
+file.
 
 If not using the kernel's coccicheck target, keep the above precedence
 order logic of .cocciconfig reading. If using the kernel's coccicheck target,

+=====================================
+Using Propeller with the Linux kernel
+=====================================
+
+This enables Propeller build support for the kernel when using Clang
+compiler. Propeller is a profile-guided optimization (PGO) method used
+to optimize binary executables. Like AutoFDO, it utilizes hardware
+sampling to gather information about the frequency of execution of
+different code paths within a binary. Unlike AutoFDO, this information
+is then used right before linking phase to optimize (among others)
+block layout within and across functions.
+
+A few important notes about adopting Propeller optimization:
+
+#. Although it can be used as a standalone optimization step, it is
+   strongly recommended to apply Propeller on top of AutoFDO,
+   AutoFDO+ThinLTO or Instrument FDO. The rest of this document
+   assumes this paradigm.
+
+#. Propeller uses another round of profiling on top of
+   AutoFDO/AutoFDO+ThinLTO/iFDO. The whole build process involves
+   "build-afdo - train-afdo - build-propeller - train-propeller -
+   build-optimized".
+
+#. Propeller requires LLVM 19 release or later for Clang/Clang++
+   and the linker(ld.lld).
+
+#. In addition to LLVM toolchain, Propeller requires a profiling
+   conversion tool: https://github.com/google/autofdo with a release
+   after v0.30.1: https://github.com/google/autofdo/releases/tag/v0.30.1.
+
+The Propeller optimization process involves the following steps:
+
+#. Initial building: Build the AutoFDO or AutoFDO+ThinLTO binary as
+   you would normally do, but with a set of compile-time / link-time
+   flags, so that a special metadata section is created within the
+   kernel binary. The special section is only intend to be used by the
+   profiling tool, it is not part of the runtime image, nor does it
+   change kernel run time text sections.
+
+#. Profiling: The above kernel is then run with a representative
+   workload to gather execution frequency data. This data is collected
+   using hardware sampling, via perf. Propeller is most effective on
+   platforms supporting advanced PMU features like LBR on Intel
+   machines. This step is the same as profiling the kernel for AutoFDO
+   (the exact perf parameters can be different).
+
+#. Propeller profile generation: Perf output file is converted to a
+   pair of Propeller profiles via an offline tool.
+
+#. Optimized build: Build the AutoFDO or AutoFDO+ThinLTO optimized
+   binary as you would normally do, but with a compile-time /
+   link-time flag to pick up the Propeller compile time and link time
+   profiles. This build step uses 3 profiles - the AutoFDO profile,
+   the Propeller compile-time profile and the Propeller link-time
+   profile.
+
+#. Deployment: The optimized kernel binary is deployed and used
+   in production environments, providing improved performance
+   and reduced latency.
+
+Preparation
+===========
+
+Configure the kernel with::
+
+   CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+   CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
+
+Customization
+=============
+
+The default CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG setting covers kernel space objects
+for Propeller builds. One can, however, enable or disable Propeller build
+for individual files and directories by adding a line similar to the
+following to the respective kernel Makefile:
+
+- For enabling a single file (e.g. foo.o)::
+
+   PROPELLER_PROFILE_foo.o := y
+
+- For enabling all files in one directory::
+
+   PROPELLER_PROFILE := y
+
+- For disabling one file::
+
+   PROPELLER_PROFILE_foo.o := n
+
+- For disabling all files in one directory::
+
+   PROPELLER__PROFILE := n
+
+
+Workflow
+========
+
+Here is an example workflow for building an AutoFDO+Propeller kernel:
+
+1) Assuming an AutoFDO profile is already collected following
+   instructions in the AutoFDO document, build the kernel on the host
+   machine, with AutoFDO and Propeller build configs ::
+
+      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+      CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
+
+   and ::
+
+      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<autofdo-profile-name>
+
+2) Install the kernel on the test machine.
+
+3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
+   event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number, like 500009,
+   for this purpose.
+
+   - For Intel platforms::
+
+      $ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
+
+   - For AMD platforms::
+
+      $ perf record --pfm-event RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a -N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
+
+   Note you can repeat the above steps to collect multiple <perf_file>s.
+
+4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file(s) to the host machine.
+
+5) Use the create_llvm_prof tool (https://github.com/google/autofdo) to
+   generate Propeller profile. ::
+
+      $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file>
+                         --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name
+                         --out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt
+                         --propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt
+
+   "<propeller_profile_prefix>" can be something like "/home/user/dir/any_string".
+
+   This command generates a pair of Propeller profiles:
+   "<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt" and
+   "<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt".
+
+   If there are more than 1 perf_file collected in the previous step,
+   you can create a temp list file "<perf_file_list>" with each line
+   containing one perf file name and run::
+
+      $ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=@<perf_file_list>
+                         --format=propeller --propeller_output_module_name
+                         --out=<propeller_profile_prefix>_cc_profile.txt
+                         --propeller_symorder=<propeller_profile_prefix>_ld_profile.txt
+
+6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO and Propeller
+   profiles. ::
+
+      CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
+      CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG=y
+
+   and ::
+
+      $ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file> CLANG_PROPELLER_PROFILE_PREFIX=<propeller_profile_prefix>
