What about a partial revert like:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
index 9f5d2e87150e..aa0f7578653d 100644
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
@@ -1083,7 +1083,9 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(KCFLAGS)
KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE += --build-id=sha1
LDFLAGS_vmlinux += --build-id=sha1
+ifneq ($(ARCH),$(filter $(ARCH),arm64))
KBUILD_LDFLAGS += -z noexecstack
+endif
ifeq ($(CONFIG_LD_IS_BFD),y)
KBUILD_LDFLAGS += $(call ld-option,--no-warn-rwx-segments)
endif
Only arm64 gcc/ld builds would need to change (with the option of adding
other architectures if anyone reports same issue).
With a full revert we lose --no-warn-rwx-segments and warnings show-up
with later versions of ld.
I did open a bug against 'ld' as Nick requested:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29994
If this is this is a better way to go - I can form up a v3 patch.
