arm64 descends into each vdso directory twice; first in vdso_prepare,
second during the ordinary build process.

PPC mimicked it and uncovered a problem [1]. In the first descend,
Kbuild directly visits the vdso directories, therefore it does not
inherit subdir-ccflags-y from upper directories.

This means the command line parameters may differ between the two.
If it happens, the offset values in the generated headers might be
different from real offsets of vdso.so in the kernel.

This potential danger should be avoided. The vdso directories are
built in the vdso_prepare stage, so the second descend is unneeded.

<title>arm64: link with -z norelro for LLD or aarch64-elf</title>

<content type='text'>
With GNU binutils 2.35+, linking with BFD produces warnings for vmlinux:
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: -z norelro ignored

BFD can produce this warning when the target emulation mode does not
support RELRO program headers, and -z relro or -z norelro is passed.

Alan Modra clarifies:
  The default linker emulation for an aarch64-linux ld.bfd is
  -maarch64linux, the default for an aarch64-elf linker is
  -maarch64elf.  They are not equivalent.  If you choose -maarch64elf
  you get an emulation that doesn't support -z relro.

The ARCH=arm64 kernel prefers -maarch64elf, but may fall back to
-maarch64linux based on the toolchain configuration.

LLD will always create RELRO program header regardless of target
emulation.

To avoid the above warning when linking with BFD, pass -z norelro only
when linking with LLD or with -maarch64linux.

(either related to shadow memory or compiler instrumentation).  Expand
those into CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC || CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS.

Hardware tag-based KASAN relies on Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) which is
an armv8.5-a architecture extension.

Enable the correct asm option when the compiler supports it in order to
allow the usage of ALTERNATIVE()s with MTE instructions.

<title>kbuild: Hoist '--orphan-handling' into Kconfig</title>

<id>urn:sha1:59612b24f78a0b61fe078ec9dff2e48e9cec52c0</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).

To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.

To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

Pull orphan section checking from Ingo Molnar:
 "Orphan link sections were a long-standing source of obscure bugs,
  because the heuristics that various linkers &amp; compilers use to handle
  them (include these bits into the output image vs discarding them
  silently) are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.

  Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook
  (et al) adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any
  orphan section in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.

  And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix
  a metric ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this,
  before we can finally enable the checks on the x86, ARM and ARM64
  platforms"

<id>urn:sha1:596b0474d3d9b1242eab713f84d8873f9887d980</id>
<content type='text'>
There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)

The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.

You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.

scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.

You can add arch-specific sections in &lt;asm/module.lds.h&gt;.
