Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] Arm: split xen-syms linking rule
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 14:00:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <483052d4-b70e-4005-8b10-4ecf509bf40a@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <9a78fdea-08ba-4e04-bfa1-ba09730a300b@suse.com>

Doing so, besides (hopefully) adding clarity (not the least by way of
[re-]using pattern rules where possible), also avoids explicit recursive
$(MAKE) invocations.

By re-using the generic rules introduced when the respective x86 rule was
split,
- the .map file now isn't created after the final binary anymore,
- --strip-debug is passed to $(LD) during early linking passes (for
  consistency the option is also explicitly added to the optional linking
  pass rule),
- CONFIG_{SUPPRESS_DUPLICATE_SYMBOL_WARNINGS,ENFORCE_UNIQUE_SYMBOLS} are
  now properly respected.
Orphan section checking, otoh, is getting suppressed for now, until the
about a dozen warnings which would result have been taken care of.

While the 4th linking step continues to be avoided when possible, a
redundant invocation of $(NM) and tools/symbols (plus the assembling of
the resulting .S file) is hopefully deemed acceptable.

As for the x86 patch, I'd like to keep the "beautification" part, i.e.
transforming to more use of Kbuild.include machinery, separate.
