commit 3b92fa7485eba16b05166fddf38ab42f2ff6ab95 upstream.

With CONFIG_EXPERT=y, CONFIG_KASAN=y, CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n,
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n, we observe the following failure when trying to
link the kernel image with LD=ld.lld:

error: section: .exit.data is not contiguous with other relro sections

ld.lld defaults to -z relro while ld.bfd defaults to -z norelro. This
was previously fixed, but only for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y.

commit 5d28ba5f8a0cfa3a874fa96c33731b8fcd141b3a upstream.

vdso32 should only be installed if CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is enabled,
since it's not even supposed to be compiled otherwise, and arm64
builds without a 32bit crosscompiler will fail.

Add the 32-bit vdso Makefile to the vdso_install rule so that 'make
vdso_install' installs the 32-bit compat vdso when it is compiled.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 799c43415442 ("kbuild: thin archives make default for
all archs"), core-y is passed to the linker with --whole-archive.
Hence, the whole of stub library is linked to vmlinux.

Use libs-y so that lib.a is passed after --no-whole-archive for
conditional linking.

The unused drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/relocate.o will be dropped
for ARCH=arm64.

<title>arm64: remove TEXT_OFFSET randomization</title>

<content type='text'>
TEXT_OFFSET was recently changed to 0x0, in preparation for its removal
at a later stage, and a warning is emitted into the kernel log when the
bootloader appears to have failed to take the TEXT_OFFSET image header
value into account.

Ironically, this warning itself fails to take TEXT_OFFSET into account,
and compares the kernel image's alignment modulo 2M against a hardcoded
value of 0x0, and so the warning will trigger spuriously when TEXT_OFFSET
randomization is enabled.

Given the intent to get rid of TEXT_OFFSET entirely, let's fix this
oversight by just removing support for TEXT_OFFSET randomization.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - fix warnings in 'make clean' for ARCH=um, hexagon, h8300, unicore32

 - ensure to rebuild all objects when the compiler is upgraded

 - exclude system headers from dependency tracking and fixdep processing

 - fix potential bit-size mismatch between the kernel and BPF user-mode
   helper

 - add the new syntax 'userprogs' to build user-space programs for the
   target architecture (the same arch as the kernel)

 - compile user-space sample code under samples/ for the target arch
   instead of the host arch

 - make headers_install fail if a CONFIG option is leaked to user-space

 - sanitize the output format of scripts/checkstack.pl

 - handle ARM 'push' instruction in scripts/checkstack.pl

 - error out before modpost if a module name conflict is found

 - error out when multiple directories are passed to M= because this
   feature is broken for a long time

 - add CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED to support compressed debug info

 - a lot of cleanups of modpost

 - dump vmlinux symbols out into vmlinux.symvers, and reuse it in the
   second pass of modpost

 - do not run the second pass of modpost if nothing in modules is
   updated

 - install modules.builtin(.modinfo) by 'make install' as well as by
   'make modules_install' because it is useful even when
   CONFIG_MODULES=n

 - add new command line variables, GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP, LZMA, LZ4, and XZ
   to allow users to use alternatives such as pigz, pbzip2, etc.

Reserve the x18 register from general allocation when SCS is enabled,
because the compiler uses the register to store the current task's
shadow stack pointer. Note that all external kernel modules must also be
compiled with -ffixed-x18 if the kernel has SCS enabled.
