Currently with ld.lld we emit an empty .eh_frame_hdr section (and a corresponding program header) into the vDSO. With ld.bfd the section is not emitted but the program header is, with p_vaddr set to 0. This can lead to unwinders attempting to interpret the data at whichever location the program header happens to point to as an unwind info header. This happens to be mostly harmless as long as the byte at that location (interpreted as a version number) has a value other than 1, causing both libgcc and LLVM libunwind to ignore the section (in libunwind's case, after printing an error message to stderr), but it could lead to worse problems if the byte happened to be 1 or the program header points to non-readable memory (e.g. if the empty section was placed at a page boundary). Instead of disabling .eh_frame_hdr via --no-eh-frame-hdr (which also has the downside of being unsupported by older versions of GNU binutils), disable it by discarding the section, and stop emitting the program header that points to it. I understand that we intend to emit valid unwind info for the vDSO at some point. Once that happens this patch can be reverted.
