[PATCH 0/2] x86/build/vdso: a little more Makefile cleanups

[Masahiro Yamada]

At first, I sent the first patch to UML ML,
but they did not pick it up.
Instead, I was able to get Acked-by from Richard,
one of the UML maintainers.

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10399787/

I am resending it to x86 ML.

[PATCH 1/2] x86/build/vdso: remove unused vdso-syms.lds

[Masahiro Yamada]

This file contains symbol values, and was originally linked into
vmlinux, but I have no idea what it was actually used for.

Since commit 827880ec260b ("x86/um: thin archives build fix"), it is
not even linked.  Now it is completely orphan, and no problem has
been reported.  It is a proof that this file was not needed in the
first place.

Uhh, I thought you want to carry this via your tree?
I don't mind picking up these patches.

Thanks,

I already picked them up, as one of them affects the x86 tree.

Is that OK?

Thanks,
