abc5b28db1 bcm53xx: use -falign-functions=32 for kernel compilation
Northstar SoCs have pretty small CPU caches and their performance is
heavily affected by cache hits & misses. It means that all kind of
random code changes can affect performance as they often reorganize
(change alignment & possibly reorder) kernel symbols.

It was discussed in ARM / net mailinglists:
1. ARM router NAT performance affected by random/unrelated commits [1] [2]
2. Optimizing kernel compilation / alignments for network performance [3] [4]

It seems that -falign-functions can be used as a partial workaround. It
doesn't solve all cases (e.g. documented watchdog one [5]) but it surely
helps with many of them.

A complete long term solution may be PGO (profile-guided optimization)
but it isn't available at this point.

531e0399cd build: add option KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
Generate BTF (BPF Type Format) information from DWARF debug info. This is
embedded in the kernel and exported via sysfs as /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux.
BTF data enhances kernel portability and introspection for BPF programs.

Selecting this also enables the dwarves host package which provides the
pahole tool used for BTF encoding.

Test using: "bpftool btf dump file /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux format c"

This needs to depend on KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED not being set,
otherwise we can enable both KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_BTF and
KERNEL_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED, which will result in undefined behaviour.

It also lacks proper support for modern C++11 features.

buildsystem: add CONFIG_SECCOMP
Until now, this feature was switched on via the kernel configuration
option KERNEL_SECCOMP.

The follwing change a7f794cd2a now requires that
the package procd-seccomp must also enabled for buildinmg.

However, this is not the case we have no dependency and the imagebuilder
cannot build the image, because of the implicit package selection.

This change adds a new configuration option CONFIG_SECCOMP.
The new option  has the same behaviour as the configuration
option CONFIG_SELINUX.

If the CONFIG_SECCOMP is selected then the package procd-seccomp and
KERNEL_SECCOMP is enabled for this build.

57807f50de base-files: add option to make /var persistent
In OpenWrt, /var is symlinked to /tmp by default. This is done to reduce
the amount of writes to the flash chip, which often have not the
greatest durability. As a result, things like DHCP or UPnP lease files,
are not persistent across reboots.

Since OpenWrt can run on devices with more durable storage, it makes
sense to have an option for a persistent /var. Add an option to make
/var persistent. When enabled, /var will no longer be symlinked to /tmp,
but /var/run will be symlink to /tmp/run, as it should contains only
files that should not be kept during reboot. The option is off by
default, to maintain the current behaviour.

330bd380e8 image: allow building FIT and uImage with ramdisk
Instead of embedding the initrd cpio archive into the kernel, allow
for having an external ramdisk added to the FIT or uImage.
This is useful to overcome kernel size limitations present in many
stock bootloaders, as the ramdisk is then loaded seperately and doesn't
add to the kernel size. Hence we can have larger ramdisks to host ie.
installers with all binaries to flash included (or a web-based
firmware selector).
In terms of performance and total size the differences are neglectible.

 "Strip non-essential /proc functionality to reduce code size"

Tools like netstat use the snmp/6 interface to collect interface
statistics. Some prometheus exporters also mention this:
- prometheus-collectors/netstat.lua
- prometheus-collectors/snmp6 (still a PR)
- collectd/snmp6 (still a PR)

The kernel only zImage grows by about 5-9KB ?

I would like to enable this by default for all 5.4 kernels, so i can use the new io_uring samba-4.12.x vfs module by default.

The associated liburing was already submitted and merged.
The kernel + liburing was tested on ARM/mvebu via samba4 vfs_io_uring module and i have no issues so far.

Some extra reads on it and why we should enable it by default, since i expect more packages to use this in the future.
