[PATCH] ARM: Do not use NOCROSSREFS directive with ld.lld

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

Since b9baf5c8c5c3 has been backported to stable, I have marked this for
stable as well, using a Fixes tag to notate that this should go back to
all releases that have b9baf5c8c5c3, not to indicate any blame of
b9baf5c8c5c3, as this is clearly an ld.lld deficiency.

It would be nice if this could be applied directly to unblock our CI if
there are no objections.
