Bug 1956484

[I am not a Fedora user; I just read the build file and made the suggestion]

As I mentioned on "Re: Very slow clang kernel config .." (https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210501235549.vugtjeb7dmd5xell@google.com/),
the llvm and clang builds can use -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions to improve performance.
The performance of the built clang will be comparable to a mostly statically linked (libLLVM*.a libclang*.a) PIE clang, as evidenced by my few runs building x86_64 defconfig 'vmlinux' (-j 40):

-fno-semantic-interposition can avoid some GOT (on x86-64 the optimization is partially covered by R_X86_64_{REX_,}GOTPCRELX)
(in clang, access to external linkage default visibility non-comdat definition in the same translation unit).
As of gcc 11 and clang 12, this option is a no-op on non-x86, but compilers may improve for other architectures in the future.


-Bsymbolic is less safe because it can break interaction with copy relocations (https://maskray.me/blog/2021-01-09-copy-relocations-canonical-plt-entries-and-protected).
