Hi Masahiro-san,
As I remember, init/ is already built during recursive make, and I did
a clean build(make mrproper, make localmodconfig) with all plugins
included on x86_64 with following patch, the kernel can boot without any
obvious problem. So, I don't figure out why we need this final build?

link-vmlinux.sh increments '.version'
so it must descend into init/
to update include/generated/compile.h
and re-compile init/version.o
We do not increment '.version'
at the first descend into init/
because we never know whether the kernel
is updated or not before the final link stage.

Oh, I wasn't aware of this process, now understood. Thanks Masahiro-san.
BTW, I still have 2 questions.
1. In final build, why need
GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS="${GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS}"
Doesn't GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS already exist in the environment?
I also tested the Randomizing Structure Layout plugin with this patch,
the plugin seems works in my test.
2. scripts/link-vmlinux.sh seems just handle only one argument: clean.
So why shouldn't it be:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index ccd981892ef2..21d93b545381 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -998,7 +998,7 @@ ARCH_POSTLINK := $(wildcard
$(srctree)/arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile.postlink)
# Final link of vmlinux with optional arch pass after final link
cmd_link-vmlinux = \
- $(CONFIG_SHELL) $< $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_vmlinux) ; \
+ $(CONFIG_SHELL) $<; \
$(if $(ARCH_POSTLINK), $(MAKE) -f $(ARCH_POSTLINK) $@, true)
vmlinux: scripts/link-vmlinux.sh vmlinux_prereq $(vmlinux-deps) FORCE

I have not tested, but GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS="${GCC_PLUGINS_CFLAGS}"
is probably unnecessary.

To detect the change of $(LD) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_vmlinux)

I understood, I missed the existence of .vmlinux.cmd file.
Thanks very much, Masahiro-san.
