Allow architectures to create arch/xxx/Makefile.postlink with targets for vmlinux, modules.ko, and clean, which will be invoked after final linking of vmlinux and modules. powerpc will use this to check vmlinux linker relocations for sanity, and may use it to fix up alternate instruction patch branch addresses. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxxxx> --- Since v1, - Switched to a more flexible arch makefile invocation. - Provide a powerpc patch to use it to help existing build issue (rather than only justification being out-of-tree patch). Since v2 - Depend on existence of Makefile.modpost, rather than config option. - Add a clean target - Move post-vmlinux invocation into Makefile rather than link-vmlinux.sh - Arch postlink must always be done after final link, not on an if_changed basis, because the vmlinux itself is not a dependency.
