Re: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/vdso64: link vdso64 with linker

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 11:48:09 EST




Le 02/09/2020 à 00:25, Nick Desaulniers a écrit :
Rather than invoke the compiler as the driver, use the linker. That way
we can check --orphan-handling=warn support correctly, as cc-ldoption
was removed in
commit 055efab3120b ("kbuild: drop support for cc-ldoption").

Painstakingly compared the output between `objdump -a` before and after
this change. Now function symbols have the correct type of FUNC rather
than NONE, and the entry is slightly different (which doesn't matter for
the vdso). Binary size is the same.

Fixes: commit f2af201002a8 ("powerpc/build: vdso linker warning for orphan sections")
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAKwvOdnn3wxYdJomvnveyD_njwRku3fABWT_bS92duihhywLJQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Signed-off-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx>

Is this change still necessary ? If so please rebase as we have changed the structure of VDSO source files (Only one directory common to 32 and 64).

Christophe
