Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: Discard .discard.unreachable for arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
Date: Wed, 20 May 2020 11:20:10 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200520182010.242489-1-maskray@google.com> (raw)

In the latest efi tree, ce5e3f909fc0ed67e58367b9c56a54c20a51080b
"efi/printf: Add 64-bit and 8-bit integer support",
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux may have an undesired
.discard.unreachable section from drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/vsprintf.stub.o

.discard.unreachable contains an R_X86_64_PC32 relocation, which will be
warned by LLD: a non-SHF_ALLOC section (.discard.unreachable) is not
part of the memory image, thus conceptually the distance between a
non-SHF_ALLOC and a SHF_ALLOC is not a constant which can be resolved at
link time.

% ld.lld -m elf_x86_64 -T arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds ... -o arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux
ld.lld: warning: vsprintf.c:(.discard.unreachable+0x0): has non-ABS relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol ''

Reuse the DISCARDS macro which includes .discard.* to drop .discard.unreachable
