From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: arnd@arndb.de (Arnd Bergmann) Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 15:37:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM64: build vdso without libgcov Message-ID: <8988881.1vH1oNjPUl@wuerfel> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV enabled then results in a build error: /home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as we do for most other architectures.
