[v2,2/3] MIPS: VDSO: Move disabling the VDSO logic to Kconfig

Series [v2,1/3] kbuild: add CONFIG_LD_IS_LLD | expand

Commit Message

Nathan Chancellor April 19, 2020, 8:21 p.m. UTC 
After commit 9553d16fa671 ("init/kconfig: Add LD_VERSION Kconfig"), we
have access to GNU ld's version at configuration time. As a result, we
can make it clearer under what configuration circumstances the MIPS VDSO
needs to be disabled.

This is a prerequisite for getting rid of the MIPS VDSO binutils
warning and linking the VDSO when LD is ld.lld. Wrapping the call to
ld-ifversion with CONFIG_LD_IS_LLD does not work because the config
values are wiped away during 'make clean'.

Should be s/CONFIG_DISABLE_MIPS_VDSO/CONFIG_MIPS_DISABLE_VDSO ?

Ugh yes, thank you much for pointing it out.

I'll send a v3 once I get further feedback on the series.

Cheers!

I just wondered if we could raise the minimal binutils
version from 2.23 to 2.25, but it might be too aggressive...
I do not know.

Other than what Sedat pointed out, this looks good me.
