[PATCH] ARM: add KEEP() keyword to ARM_VECTORS
From: Christian Eggers
Date: Fri Feb 21 2025 - 07:55:47 EST
Without this, the vectors are removed if LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
is enabled. At startup, the CPU (silently) hangs in the undefined
instruction exception as soon as the first timer interrupt arrives.
On my setup, the system also boots fine without the 2nd and 3rd KEEP()
statements, so I cannot tell whether these are actually required.
Fixes: ed0f94102251 ("ARM: 9404/1: arm32: enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION")
