Commit ccbef1674a15 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion
macros") introduced scripts/ld-version.sh for GCC LTO.

At that time, this script handled 5 version fields because GCC LTO
needed the downstream binutils. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

The code snippet from the submitted patch was as follows:

    # We need HJ Lu's Linux binutils because mainline binutils does not
    # support mixing assembler and LTO code in the same ld -r object.
    # XXX check if the gcc plugin ld is the expected one too
    # XXX some Fedora binutils should also support it. How to check for that?
    ifeq ($(call ld-ifversion,-ge,22710001,y),y)
        ...

However, GCC LTO was not merged into the mainline after all.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

So, the 4th and 5th fields were never used, and finally removed by
commit 0d61ed17dd30 ("ld-version: Drop the 4th and 5th version
components").

Since then, the last 4-digits returned by this script is always zeros.

Remove the meaningless last 4-digits. This makes the version format
consistent with GCC_VERSION, CLANG_VERSION, LLD_VERSION.

<title>MIPS: VDSO: Use CLANG_FLAGS instead of filtering out '--target='</title>

Commit ee67855ecd9d ("MIPS: vdso: Allow clang's --target flag in VDSO
cflags") allowed the '--target=' flag from the main Makefile to filter
through to the vDSO. However, it did not bring any of the other clang
specific flags for controlling the integrated assembler and the GNU
tools locations (--prefix=, --gcc-toolchain=, and -no-integrated-as).
Without these, we will get a warning (visible with tinyconfig):

arch/mips/vdso/elf.S:14:1: warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per
compilation unit
.pushsection .note.Linux, "a",@note ; .balign 4 ; .long 2f - 1f ; .long
4484f - 3f ; .long 0 ; 1:.asciz "Linux" ; 2:.balign 4 ; 3:
^
arch/mips/vdso/elf.S:34:2: warning: DWARF2 only supports one section per
compilation unit
 .section .mips_abiflags, "a"
 ^

All of these flags are bundled up under CLANG_FLAGS in the main Makefile
and exported so that they can be added to Makefiles that set their own
CFLAGS. Use this value instead of filtering out '--target=' so there is
no warning and all of the tools are properly used.

Don't allow splitting of vm_special_mapping's.  It affects vdso/vvar
areas.  Uprobes have only one page in xol_area so they aren't affected.

Those restrictions were enforced by checks in .mremap() callbacks.
Restrict resizing with generic .split() callback.

<title>kbuild: remove cc-option test of -fno-stack-protector</title>

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.

No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.

GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)

Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.

Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.

Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.

<title>MIPS: VDSO: Allow ld.lld to link the VDSO</title>

Currently, when linking with ld.lld, this warning pops up:

    arch/mips/vdso/Makefile:70: MIPS VDSO requires binutils &gt;= 2.25

CONFIG_LD_VERSION is set with scripts/ld-version.sh, which is specific
to GNU ld. It returns 0 for ld.lld so CONFIG_MIPS_LD_CAN_LINK_VDSO does
not set.

ld.lld has a completely different versioning scheme (as it follows
LLVM's versioning) and it does not have the issue mentioned in the
comment block so it should be allowed to link the VDSO.

With this patch, the VDSO successfully links and shows P_MIPS_PC32 in
vgettimeofday.o.

$ llvm-objdump -Dr arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.o | grep R_MIPS_PC32
			00000024:  R_MIPS_PC32	_start
			000000b0:  R_MIPS_PC32	_start
			000002bc:  R_MIPS_PC32	_start
			0000036c:  R_MIPS_PC32	_start
			00000468:  R_MIPS_PC32	_start
