This macro is to be used in assembly where C functions are called.
pcrel addressing mode requires branches to functions with a
localentry value of 1 to have either a trailing nop or @notoc.
This macro permits the latter without changing callers.

<title>vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations</title>

<id>aff69273af61f5d1c8fb401d6f19148d11629b41</id>
<content type='text'>
The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

After commit 8d9acfce3332 ("kbuild: Stop using '-Qunused-arguments' with
clang"), the PowerPC vDSO shows the following error with clang-13 and
older when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled:

  clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-enable-trivial-auto-var-init-zero-knowing-it-will-be-removed-from-clang' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

clang-14 added a change to make sure this flag never triggers
-Wunused-command-line-argument, so it is fixed with newer releases. For
older releases that the kernel still supports building with, just filter
out this flag, as has been done for other flags.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Remove an unsupported flag from vgettimeofday-32.o with clang</title>

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
warns:

  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fno-stack-clash-protection' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This warning happens because vgettimeofday-32.c gets its base CFLAGS
from the main kernel, which may contain flags that are only supported on
a 64-bit target but not a 32-bit one, which is the case here.
-fstack-clash-protection and its negation are only suppported by the
64-bit powerpc target but that flag is included in an invocation for a
32-bit powerpc target, so clang points out that while the flag is one
that it recognizes, it is not actually used by this compiler job.

To eliminate the warning, remove -fno-stack-clash-protection from
vgettimeofday-32.c's CFLAGS when using clang, as has been done for other
flags previously.

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, there
are several warnings in the PowerPC vDSO:

  clang-16: error: -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso32.so.1: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang-16: error: -Wl,--hash-style=both: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-shared' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-nostdinc' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-Wa,-maltivec' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

The first group of warnings point out that linker flags were being added
to all invocations of $(CC), even though they will only be used during
the final vDSO link. Move those flags to ldflags-y.

The second group of warnings are compiler or assembler flags that will
be unused during linking. Filter them out from KBUILD_CFLAGS so that
they are not used during linking.

Additionally, '-z noexecstack' was added directly to the ld_and_check
rule in commit 1d53c0192b15 ("powerpc/vdso: link with -z noexecstack")
but now that there is a common ldflags variable, it can be moved there.

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, there
are several warnings in the PowerPC vDSO:

  clang-16: error: -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso32.so.1: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang-16: error: -Wl,--hash-style=both: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-shared' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-nostdinc' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

<title>powerpc/vdso: Remove unused '-s' flag from ASFLAGS</title>

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
warns:

  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-s' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

The compiler's '-s' flag is a linking option (it is passed along to the
linker directly), which means it does nothing when the linker is not
invoked by the compiler. The kernel builds all .o files with '-c', which
stops the compilation pipeline before linking, so '-s' can be safely
dropped from ASFLAGS.

Do not run objtool on VDSO files, by using OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD.
