commit c1c551bebf928889e7a8fef7415b44f9a64975f4 upstream.
sh vmlinux fails to link with GNU ld < 2.40 (likely < 2.36) since commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv").
This is similar to fixes for powerpc and s390: commit 4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT"). commit a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36").
$ sh4-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1 GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2
$ make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu- microdev_defconfig $ make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu-
`.exit.text' referenced in section `__bug_table' of crypto/algboss.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of crypto/algboss.o `.exit.text' referenced in section `__bug_table' of drivers/char/hw_random/core.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/char/hw_random/core.o make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1 make[1]: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2
arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S keeps EXIT_TEXT:
/* * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time, to deal with * references from __bug_table */ .exit.text : AT(ADDR(.exit.text)) { EXIT_TEXT }
However, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by DISCARD(include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h) because sh does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.
GNU ld 2.40 does not have this issue and builds fine. This corresponds with Masahiro's comments in a494398bde27: "Nathan [Chancellor] also found that binutils commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output sections in scripts") cured this issue, so we cannot reproduce it with binutils 2.36+, but it is better to not rely on it."
