Will Deacon 49a3b0e1c0 arm64: vdso: Only pass --no-eh-frame-hdr when linker supports it 
Commit 87676cfca1 ("arm64: vdso: Disable dwarf unwinding through the
sigreturn trampoline") unconditionally passes the '--no-eh-frame-hdr'
option to the linker when building the native vDSO in an attempt to
prevent generation of the .eh_frame_hdr section, the presence of which
has been implicated in segfaults originating from the libgcc unwinder.

Unfortunately, not all versions of binutils support this option, which
has been shown to cause build failures in linux-next:

  |   CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  |   CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  |   LD      arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
  | ld: unrecognized option '--no-eh-frame-hdr'
  | ld: use the --help option for usage information
  | arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile:64: recipe for target
  | 'arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg' failed
  | make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg] Error 1
  | arch/arm64/Makefile:175: recipe for target 'vdso_prepare' failed
  | make: *** [vdso_prepare] Error 2

Only link the vDSO with '--no-eh-frame-hdr' when the linker supports it.
If we end up with the section due to linker defaults, the absence of CFI
information in the sigreturn trampoline will prevent the unwinder from
breaking.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
