Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/vdso: link with -z noexecstack

With recent binutils, the following warning appears:

VDSO32L arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
/opt/gcc-12.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc64-linux/12.2.0/../../../../powerpc64-linux/bin/ld: warning: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/getcpu-32.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/opt/gcc-12.2.0-nolibc/powerpc64-linux/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc64-linux/12.2.0/../../../../powerpc64-linux/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker

To avoid that, explicitely tell the linker we don't
want executable stack.

For more explanations, see commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86: link vdso
and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments")

Seems okay. Here too, commit 0d362be5b1420 ("Makefile: link with -z
noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments"). Core and x86 are using
no-warn-rwx-segments as well, should we have that just to match
too?

I think the RWX segment stuff in unrelated to VDSO. For VDSO x86 only
does noexecstack, refer commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86: link vdso and boot
with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments")

And as no-warn-rwx-segments is in the top level Makefile, I don't think
architectures need it, do they ?
x86 have it only in arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile, maybe powerpc
needs it in arch/powerpc/boot/ ? Anyway that would be another patch.
