| |
Recent addition of ARM64_PTR_AUTH exposed a mismatch issue with binutils. 9.1+ versions of gcc inserts a section note .note.gnu.property but this can be used properly by binutils version greater than 2.33.1. If older binutils are used then the following warnings are generated,
aarch64-linux-ld: warning: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000 aarch64-linux-objdump: warning: arch/arm64/lib/csum.o: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000 aarch64-linux-nm: warning: .tmp_vmlinux1: unsupported GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE (5) type: 0xc0000000
This patch enables ARM64_PTR_AUTH when gcc and binutils versions are compatible with each other. Older gcc which do not insert such section continue to work as before.
This scenario may not occur with clang as a recent commit 3b446c7d27ddd06 ("arm64: Kconfig: verify binutils support for ARM64_PTR_AUTH") masks binutils version lesser then 2.34.
