These patches add macros for detecting the linker name and version, and apply fixes and workarounds needed to link the arm64 kernel with GNU gold. Changes since v1: - moved LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION fixes to the beginning of the patch set and removed mentions of gold - renamed ld-if-name-version to __ld-ifversion for consistency - cleaned up the erratum changes in arch/arm64/Makefile Sami Tolvanen (7): kbuild: fix LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION arm64: keep .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement kbuild: add ld-name macro kbuild: add __ld-ifversion and linker-specific macros arm64: fix -m for GNU gold arm64: explicitly pass --no-fix-cortex-a53-843419 to GNU gold arm64: add a workaround for GNU gold with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS arch/arm64/Makefile | 17 +++++++++++++++++ arch/arm64/kernel/module.lds | 4 ++-- arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 4 ++-- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 8 ++++---- scripts/Kbuild.include | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 41 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) -- 2.15.0.531.g2ccb3012c9-goog -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
