4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 85602bea297fc4e5223adbf7006dcce9aa694f17 ] Debian toolcahin defaults to PIE, and I guess that will also be the case of most distributions. This causes the following build failure: AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/getcpu.o AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/flush_icache.o VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg OBJCOPY arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.o VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o LD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o' make[2]: *** [arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/Makefile:43: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:575: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1018: arch/riscv/kernel] Error 2 While the root Makefile correctly passes "-fno-PIE" to build individual object files, the RISC-V kernel also builds vdso-dummy.o as an executable, which is therefore linked as PIE. Fix that by updating this specific link rule to also include "-no-pie".
