Subject: [PATCH 1/2] powerpc/vdso: Remove unused ENTRY in linker scripts
Date: Mon, 9 May 2022 13:46:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220509204635.2539549-2-nathan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220509204635.2539549-1-nathan@kernel.org>
When linking vdso{32,64}.so.dbg with ld.lld, there is a warning about
not finding _start for the starting address:
ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
Looking at GCC + GNU ld, the entry point address is 0x0:
$ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
File: vdso32.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
File: vdso64.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
This matches what ld.lld emits:
$ powerpc64le-linux-gnu-readelf -p .comment vdso{32,64}.so.dbg
File: vdso32.so.dbg
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 0] Linker: LLD 14.0.0
[ 14] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)
File: vdso64.so.dbg
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 0] Linker: LLD 14.0.0
[ 14] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)
$ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
File: vdso32.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
File: vdso64.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
Remove ENTRY to remove the warning, as it is unnecessary for the vDSO to
function correctly.
