Subject: [PATCH] arm64: vdso: Fix ldflags for -Bsymbolic
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 16:08:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200428150854.33130-1-vincenzo.frascino@arm.com> (raw)

The vDSO library adds -Bsymbolic to the ldflags because when the shared
library is built it adds a flag in the dynamic section of the binary
called DT_SYMBOLIC which alters the dynamic linker's symbol resolution
algorithm to search for references for a symbol inside the library first
and then into the executable.

In the current implementation of the library for arm64 the flag has been
wrongly added to VDSO_LDFLAGS which is never used.

Restore the correct behavior adding the flag to ldflags.

Note: -Bsymbolic has been added for consistency with arm and future
proof.
