Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] MIPS: VDSO: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO
Date:   Thu, 23 Apr 2020 10:18:06 -0700

Currently, the VDSO is being linked through $(CC). This does not match
how the rest of the kernel links objects, which is through the $(LD)
variable.

When clang is built in a default configuration, it first attempts to use
the target triple's default linker then the system's default linker,
unless told otherwise through -fuse-ld=... We do not use -fuse-ld=
because it can be brittle and we have support for invoking $(LD)
directly. See commit fe00e50b2db8c ("ARM: 8858/1: vdso: use $(LD)
instead of $(CC) to link VDSO") and commit 691efbedc60d2 ("arm64: vdso:
use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link VDSO") for examples of doing this in
the VDSO.

Do the same thing here. Replace the custom linking logic with $(cmd_ld)
and ldflags-y so that $(LD) is respected.

Before this patch, LD=ld.lld did nothing:

$ llvm-readelf -p.comment arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg | sed 's/(.*//'
String dump of section '.comment':
[     0] ClangBuiltLinux clang version 11.0.0

After this patch, it does:

$ llvm-readelf -p.comment arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg | sed 's/(.*//'
String dump of section '.comment':
[     0] Linker: LLD 11.0.0
[    62] ClangBuiltLinux clang version 11.0.0
