The following commit has been merged into the core/build branch of tip: Commit-ID: e2179a09ab089d3423751bd2b0c884ddb3eabe84 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/e2179a09ab089d3423751bd2b0c884ddb3eabe84 Author: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 12:42:48 -07:00 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Tue, 01 Sep 2020 09:50:36 +02:00 efi/libstub: Disable -mbranch-protection In preparation for adding --orphan-handling=warn to more architectures, disable -mbranch-protection, as EFI does not yet support it[1]. This was noticed due to it producing unwanted .note.gnu.property sections (prefixed with .init due to the objcopy build step). However, we must also work around a bug in Clang where the section is still emitted for code-less object files[2], so also remove the section during the objcopy.
