Running "make" on an already compiled kernel tree will rebuild the
kernel even without any modifications:

  CALL    linux/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CALL    linux/scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  SO2S    arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.S
  AS      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o
  AR      arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/built-in.a
  AR      arch/riscv/kernel/built-in.a
  AR      arch/riscv/built-in.a
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  AR      init/built-in.a
  LD      vmlinux.o

The reason is "Any target that utilizes if_changed must be listed in
$(targets), otherwise the command line check will fail, and the target
will always be built" as explained by Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst

Fix this build bug by adding vdso-syms.S to $(targets)

At the same time, there are two trivial clean up modifications:

- the vdso-dummy.o is not needed any more after so remove it.

- vdso.lds is a generated file, so it should be prefixed with
  $(obj)/ instead of $(src)/

<title>riscv: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link vDSO</title>

<id>7f3d349065d0c643f7f7013fbf9bc9f2c90b675f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the VDSO is being linked through $(CC). This does not match
how the rest of the kernel links objects, which is through the $(LD)
variable.

When linking with clang, there are a couple of warnings about flags that
will not be used during the link:

clang-12: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-no-pie' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang-12: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pg' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]

'-no-pie' was added in commit 85602bea297f ("RISC-V: build vdso-dummy.o
with -no-pie") to override '-pie' getting added to the ld command from
distribution versions of GCC that enable PIE by default. It is
technically no longer needed after commit c2c81bb2f691 ("RISC-V: Fix the
VDSO symbol generaton for binutils-2.35+"), which removed vdso-dummy.o
in favor of generating vdso-syms.S from vdso.so with $(NM) but this also
resolves the issue in case it ever comes back due to having full control
over the $(LD) command. '-pg' is for function tracing, it is not used
during linking as clang states.

These flags could be removed/filtered to fix the warnings but it is
easier to just match the rest of the kernel and use $(LD) directly for
linking. See commits

  fe00e50b2db8 ("ARM: 8858/1: vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO")
  691efbedc60d ("arm64: vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO")
  2ff906994b6c ("MIPS: VDSO: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO")
  2b2a25845d53 ("s390/vdso: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link vDSO")

for more information.

The flags are converted to linker flags and '--eh-frame-hdr' is added to
match what is added by GCC implicitly, which can be seen by adding '-v'
to GCC's invocation.

Additionally, since this area is being modified, use the $(OBJCOPY)
variable instead of an open coded $(CROSS_COMPILE)objcopy so that the
user's choice of objcopy binary is respected.

We use the generic C VDSO implementations of a handful of clock-related
functions.  When kasan is enabled this results in asan stub calls that
are unlikely to be resolved by userspace, this just disables KASAN
when building the VDSO.

Verified the fix on a kernel with KASAN enabled using vDSO selftests.

explicitly set the build ID style to SHA1. Commit c2c81bb2f691 ("RISC-V:

likely unintentionally.

Restore it so that the build ID style stays consistent across the tree

We were relying on GNU ld's ability to re-link executable files in order
to extract our VDSO symbols.  This behavior was deemed a bug as of
binutils-2.35 (specifically the binutils-gdb commit a87e1817a4 ("Have
the linker fail if any attempt to link in an executable is made."), but
as that has been backported to at least Debian's binutils-2.34 in may
manifest in other places.

The previous version of this was a bit of a mess: we were linking a
static executable version of the VDSO, containing only a subset of the
input symbols, which we then linked into the kernel.  This worked, but
certainly wasn't a supported path through the toolchain.  Instead this
new version parses the textual output of nm to produce a symbol table.
Both rely on near-zero addresses being linkable, but as we rely on weak
undefined symbols being linkable elsewhere I don't view this as a major
issue.

Currently, building the vDSO with clang leads assembler errors like the
following:

  /tmp/vgettimeofday-1ae0d2.s: Assembler messages:

  /tmp/vgettimeofday-1ae0d2.s:28: Error: illegal operands `auipc a2,%got_pcrel_hi(__stack_chk_guard)'

"ra:0x3ff449e954" is the return address of "call _mcount" in the
prologue of __vdso_gettimeofday(). Without proper relocate, pc jmp
to 0x0000003ff449e000 (vdso map base) with a illegal instruction
trap.

The solution comes from arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile:

CFLAGS_REMOVE_vgettimeofday.o = $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) -Os $(CC_FLAGS_SCS)

 - CC_FLAGS_SCS is ShadowCallStack feature in Clang and only
   implemented for arm64, no use for riscv.

compiler these functions will be used in somewhere to avoid
"no previous prototype" compile warning.
