Build ID on arm64 is broken if CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y on 5.4, 5.10, and 5.15
Greg mentioned to submit for _all_ branches here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y9N9B5e7HZhFN7nl@kroah.com/ so here is 6.1's series.
This 6.1 series is not strictly necessary, as the problem does not present itself in the current 6.1 stable kernels.
However, 6.1 would be broken with inclusion of either: 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o") 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o") Should we just include these as well?
Both the above are listed as Fixes for: [PATCH 6.1 fix build id for arm64 1/5] arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv
Applying this series to 6.1 is probably best to remain consistent.
4.19 and 4.14 are not susceptible to the underlying quirk of ld (at least in my study of the code to date).
I've build tested on {x86_64, arm64, riscv, powerpc, s390, sh}
Simple test case: $ readelf -n vmlinux | grep "Build ID"
*NOTE* to following is not in mainline, yet: [PATCH 6.1 fix build id for arm64 5/5] sh: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT https://lore.kernel.org/all/9166a8abdc0f979e50377e61780a4bba1dfa2f52.1674518... But it is now queued in akpm's tree: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230127230702.81FA0C433D2@smtp.kernel.org/ Thank you Andrew!

base-commit: 93f875a8526a291005e7f38478079526c843cbec
From: Masahiro Yamada masahiroy@kernel.org
commit 99cb0d917ffa1ab628bb67364ca9b162c07699b1 upstream.
Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux since commit 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o").
The issue is that the type of .notes section, which contains the BuildID, changed from NOTES to PROGBITS.
Ard Biesheuvel figured out that whichever object gets linked first gets to decide the type of a section. The PROGBITS type is the result of the compiler emitting .note.GNU-stack as PROGBITS rather than NOTE.
While Ard provided a fix for arm64, I want to fix this globally because the same issue is happening on riscv since commit 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). This problem will happen in general for other architectures if they start to drop unneeded entries from scripts/head-object-list.txt.
Discard .note.GNU-stack in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

commit 4b9880dbf3bdba3a7c56445137c3d0e30aaa0a40 upstream.
The powerpc linker script explicitly includes .exit.text, because otherwise the link fails due to references from __bug_table and __ex_table. The code is freed (discarded) at runtime along with .init.text and data.
That has worked in the past despite powerpc not defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT because DISCARDS appears late in the powerpc linker script (line 410), and the explicit inclusion of .exit.text earlier (line 280) supersedes the discard.
However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA macro (line 136). With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD directives later in the script to be applied earlier [1], causing .exit.text to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build errors:
'.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 '__ex_table' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o: defined in discarded section '.exit.text' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o
Fix it by defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT, which causes the generic DISCARDS macro to not include .exit.text at all.

commit 07b050f9290ee012a407a0f64151db902a1520f5 upstream.
Relocatable kernels must not discard relocations, they need to be processed at runtime. As such they are included for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE builds in the powerpc linker script (line 340).
However they are also unconditionally discarded later in the script (line 414). Previously that worked because the earlier inclusion superseded the discard.
However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA macro (line 137). With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD directives later in the script to be applied earlier, causing .rela* to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build warnings and a kernel that doesn't boot:
ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.init.rodata
Fix it by conditionally discarding .rela* only when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is disabled.

commit a494398bde273143c2352dd373cad8211f7d94b2 upstream.
Nathan Chancellor reports that the s390 vmlinux fails to link with GNU ld < 2.36 since commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv").
It happens for defconfig, or more specifically for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.
$ s390x-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1 GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2 $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- allnoconfig $ ./scripts/config -e CONFIG_EXPOLINE $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- olddefconfig $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- `.exit.text' referenced in section `.s390_return_reg' of drivers/base/dd.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/base/dd.o make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1 make: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2
arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S wants to keep EXIT_TEXT:
.exit.text : { EXIT_TEXT }
But, at the same time, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by DISCARD because s390 does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.
I still do not understand why the latter wins after 99cb0d917ffa, but defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT seems correct because the comment line in arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S says:
/* * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time, * to deal with references from __bug_table */
Nathan 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.

This patch is now in Linus's tree.
c1c551bebf92 ("sh: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT")
$ git describe --contains c1c551bebf92 v6.2-rc7~18^2~5
commit c1c551bebf928889e7a8fef7415b44f9a64975f4 upstream.
Do you prefer I resend series for 6.1, 5.19, 5.15, and 5.4?
My questions for 6.1 still remain,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1674876902.git.tom.saeger@oracle.com/ This 6.1 series is not strictly necessary, as the problem does not present itself in the current 6.1 stable kernels.
However, 6.1 WOULD be broken with inclusion of either: 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o") 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o") Should we just include these as well?
My own preference is to included them, to track closer to upstream, and hopefully avoid 'ld' subtlties going forward.
Thoughts?

As my bot said last time you sent this:
<formletter>
This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the stable kernel tree. Please read: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html for how to do this properly.
</formletter>
Sorry, we can not take ANY of this until it hits Linus's tree. You know this!
Yep - sorry for the confusion, is it better to send as RFC in cases like this where folks on list have asked for the series to test?
Please wait until then and then send the needed backports. I'm dropping all of these from you from my review queue.

This patch is now in Linus's tree.
c1c551bebf92 ("sh: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT")
$ git describe --contains c1c551bebf92 v6.2-rc7~18^2~5
commit c1c551bebf928889e7a8fef7415b44f9a64975f4 upstream.
Do you prefer I resend series for 6.1, 5.19, 5.15, and 5.4?
My questions for 6.1 still remain,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1674876902.git.tom.saeger@oracle.com/ This 6.1 series is not strictly necessary, as the problem does not present itself in the current 6.1 stable kernels.
However, 6.1 WOULD be broken with inclusion of either: 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o") 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o") Should we just include these as well?
My own preference is to included them, to track closer to upstream, and hopefully avoid 'ld' subtlties going forward.
Thoughts?
Stick to what is in Linus's tree as closely as possible whenever possible please.
thanks,
