x86/vdso: Pass --eh-frame-hdr to the linker
[ Upstream commit cd01544a268ad8ee5b1dfe42c4393f1095f86879 ]
Commit
379d98ddf413 ("x86: vdso: Use $LD instead of $CC to link")
accidentally broke unwinding from userspace, because ld would strip the
.eh_frame sections when linking.
Originally, the compiler would implicitly add --eh-frame-hdr when
invoking the linker, but when this Makefile was converted from invoking
ld via the compiler, to invoking it directly (like vmlinux does),
the flag was missed. (The EH_FRAME section is important for the VDSO
shared libraries, but not for vmlinux.)
Fix the problem by explicitly specifying --eh-frame-hdr, which restores
parity with the old method.
