    arch: um: Mark the stack non-executable to fix a binutils warning · bd71558d
    David Gow authored
    Since binutils 2.39, ld will print a warning if any stack section is
    executable, which is the default for stack sections on files without a
    .note.GNU-stack section.
    
    This was fixed for x86 in commit ffcf9c57 ("x86: link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments"),
    but remained broken for UML, resulting in several warnings:
    
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: arch/x86/um/vdso/vdso.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
    /usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
    /usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2 has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
    /usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
    /usr/bin/ld: warning: vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
    
    Link both the VDSO and vmlinux with -z noexecstack, fixing the warnings
    about .note.GNU-stack sections. In addition, pass --no-warn-rwx-segments
    to dodge the remaining warnings about LOAD segments with RWX permissions
    in the kallsyms objects. (Note that this flag is apparently not
    available on lld, so hide it behind a test for BFD, which is what the
    x86 patch does.)
