Nick Desaulniers 0855fe6d88 arm64: link with -z norelro for LLD or aarch64-elf
commit 311bea3cb9ee20ef150ca76fc60a592bf6b159f5 upstream.

With GNU binutils 2.35+, linking with BFD produces warnings for vmlinux:
aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: -z norelro ignored

BFD can produce this warning when the target emulation mode does not
support RELRO program headers, and -z relro or -z norelro is passed.

Alan Modra clarifies:
  The default linker emulation for an aarch64-linux ld.bfd is
  -maarch64linux, the default for an aarch64-elf linker is
  -maarch64elf.  They are not equivalent.  If you choose -maarch64elf
  you get an emulation that doesn't support -z relro.

The ARCH=arm64 kernel prefers -maarch64elf, but may fall back to
-maarch64linux based on the toolchain configuration.

LLD will always create RELRO program header regardless of target
emulation.

To avoid the above warning when linking with BFD, pass -z norelro only
when linking with LLD or with -maarch64linux.

Fixes: 3bbd3db864 ("arm64: relocatable: fix inconsistencies in linker script and options")

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.
