    Subject[PATCH 3.18 55/68] arm64: build vdso without libgcov
    Date
    3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

    commit 543097843ca7c9ac3758d0b5879ea2a6f44089de upstream.

    On a cross-toolchain without glibc support, libgcov may not be
    available, and attempting to build an arm64 kernel with GCOV
    enabled then results in a build error:

    /home/arnd/cross-gcc/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux/5.2.1/../../../../aarch64-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcov

    We don't really want to link libgcov into the vdso anyway, so
    this patch just disables GCOV in the vdso directory, just as
    we do for most other architectures.
