MIPS: VDSO: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO
Currently, the VDSO is being linked through $(CC). This does not match how the rest of the kernel links objects, which is through the $(LD) variable. When clang is built in a default configuration, it first attempts to use the target triple's default linker then the system's default linker, unless told otherwise through -fuse-ld=... We do not use -fuse-ld= because it can be brittle and we have support for invoking $(LD) directly. See commit fe00e50b ("ARM: 8858/1: vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO") and commit 691efbed ("arm64: vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO") for examples of doing this in the VDSO. Do the same thing here. Replace the custom linking logic with $(cmd_ld) and ldflags-y so that $(LD) is respected. We need to explicitly add two flags to the linker that were implicitly passed by the compiler: -G 0 (which comes from ccflags-vdso) and --eh-frame-hdr.

Turns out that ld ignores it (see get_emulation in ld/ldmain.c). This is true of current trunk and 2.23, which is the minimum supported version for the kernel: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=ld/ldmain.c;hb=aa4209e7b679afd74a3860ce25659e71cc4847d5#l593 https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=ld/ldmain.c;hb=a55e30b51bc6227d8d41f707654d0a5620978dcf#l641 Before this patch, LD=ld.lld did nothing: $ llvm-readelf -p.comment arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg | sed 's/(.*//' String dump of section '.comment': [ 0] ClangBuiltLinux clang version 11.0.0 After this patch, it does: $ llvm-readelf -p.comment arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg | sed 's/(.*//' String dump of section '.comment': [ 0] Linker: LLD 11.0.0 [ 62] ClangBuiltLinux clang version 11.0.0 Link: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/785Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@alpha.franken.de>
