From ab91eb0090d377947106e58b75bfc920401ed239 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2022 03:45:37 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv commit fe15ce495a511c71ffb78121ce0b6d8ca33dc5fd upstream. Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux since commit 47547576d4c3 ("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 72506fddc7f8 ("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.
