The patch titled Subject: x86-64: fix vDSO build has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86-64-fix-vdso-build.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx> Subject: x86-64: fix vDSO build Certain ld versions (observed with 2.20.0) put an empty .rela.dyn section into shared object files, breaking the assumption on the number of sections to be copied to the final output. Simply discard any empty SHT_REL and SHT_RELA sections to address this.
