Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: vdso: fix building with wrong-endian toolchain
Date: Fri,  7 Jun 2024 08:16:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240607061629.530301-1-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Building powerpc64le kernels with the kernel.org crosstool toolchains
no longer works as the linker attempts to build a big-endian vdso:

powerpc-linux/lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/12.3.0/../../../../powerpc-linux/bin/ld: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/sigtramp32-32.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
powerpc-linux/lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/12.3.0/../../../../powerpc-linux/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/sigtramp32-32.o

Apparently creating the vdso.lds files from the lds.S files fails to
pass the -mlittle-endian argument here, so the output format gets set
wrong. Changing the conditional to check for CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN
instead still works, as the kernel configuration definitions are visible.

I'm fairly sure this worked in the past, but I did not try to bisect the
issue.
