From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 74f6bb55c834da6d4bac24f44868202743189b2b upstream. lkp reported a build error, I tried the config and can reproduce build error as below: VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg ld.lld: error: section .note file range overlaps with .text >>> .note range is [0x7C8, 0x803] >>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993] ld.lld: error: section .text file range overlaps with .dynamic >>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993] >>> .dynamic range is [0x808, 0x937] ld.lld: error: section .note virtual address range overlaps with .text >>> .note range is [0x7C8, 0x803] >>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993] Fix it by setting DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING which will disable branch tracing for vdso, thus avoid useless _ftrace_annotated_branch section and _ftrace_branch section. Although we can also fix it by removing the hardcoded .text begin address, but I think that's another story and should be put into another patch.
