commit 311bea3cb9ee20ef150ca76fc60a592bf6b159f5 upstream.
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.

Now queued up, thanks.
I assume the two patches in v2 series are queued up. Nick pointed out applying only this patch can break kernel building with lld.
Thanks
