From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 36168e387fa7d0f1fe0cd5cf76c8cea7aee714fa upstream. ld.lld does not support the NOCROSSREFS directive at the moment, which breaks the build after commit b9baf5c8c5c3 ("ARM: Spectre-BHB workaround"): ld.lld: error: ./arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:34: AT expected, but got NOCROSSREFS Support for this directive will eventually be implemented, at which point a version check can be added. To avoid breaking the build in the meantime, just define NOCROSSREFS to nothing when using ld.lld, with a link to the issue for tracking.
