Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arm: localise objcopy flags
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:28:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468337282-14527-3-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1468337282-14527-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com>

We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm Makefile, and thus
these flags will be passed to all uses of objcopy, kernel-wide, for
which they are not explicitly overridden. The flags we set are intended
for converting a few ELF files into raw binaries, and thus the flags
chosen are problematic for some other uses which do not expect a raw
binary result, e.g. the upcoming lkdtm rodata test:

  http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/06/08/2

This patch localises the objcopy flags such that they are only used for
the cases we require them for today.
