Nathan Chancellor 2ff906994b 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 fe00e50b2d ("ARM: 8858/1: vdso: use $(LD)
instead of $(CC) to link VDSO") and commit 691efbedc6 ("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.

Before this patch (generated by adding '-v' to VDSO_LDFLAGS):

-T arch/mips/vdso/vdso.lds \
arch/mips/vdso/elf.o \
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.o \
arch/mips/vdso/sigreturn.o

After this patch:

<gcc_prefix>/bin/mips64-linux-ld \
-m elf64btsmip \
-Bsymbolic \
--no-undefined \
-soname=linux-vdso.so.1 \
-EB \
-nostdlib \

-G 0 \
--eh-frame-hdr \
--hash-style=sysv \
--build-id \
-T  arch/mips/vdso/vdso.lds \
arch/mips/vdso/elf.o \
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.o
arch/mips/vdso/sigreturn.o \
-o arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg.raw

Note that we leave behind -mips64r2. 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:

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

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
