Hi all,

This small series enables the orphan-handling linker flag for the VDSO.
This could catch subtle errors if features that use special sections are
introduced into the VDSO implementation.

Sorry for the extra version, I forgot to include Kees' and Vincenzo's 
reviewed-by tags. That's the only change to the patches.

Changes from v3 [1]:
  - Adding missing r-b tags

Changes from v2 [2]:
  - Include vdso compat support

Thanks,
Joey

The patches look fine. Could you please provide some test results with [1] or [2]?

So there was 2 potential issues:
- vdso_test_time(): SKIP: Could not find __kernel_time
- Could not find __vdso_getcpu

I'm not sure what these are, maybe they don't work on arm64 or it's a kernel config issue.

Thanks,

Hi Joey,

thank you for taking care of the tests.

time() is deprecated hence not supported for aarch64 (see VDSO_HAS_TIME).

> - Could not find __vdso_getcpu

We do not have getcpu() support in the vDSO library on aarch64.

For these reasons the tests are skipped.

Hope this clarifies.

Building the 5.18-rc3 kernel with these patches, I get lots of:

Do they need fixing or there's something wrong with my toolchain?

I can reproduce this with binutils ld, I was previously testing with LLD.
Seems to me that LLD discards more sections than ld.

I will fix it and send out v5.

Thanks,
