riscv: Pass -mno-relax only on lld < 15.0.0

[PATCH] riscv: Pass -mno-relax only on lld < 15.0.0

Posted by Fangrui Song 3 years, 9 months ago

lld since
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/6611d58f5bbcbec77262d392e2923e1d680f6985
(milestone: 15.0.0) has implemented some RISC-V linker relaxation.
-mno-relax is no longer needed in KBUILD_CFLAGS/KBUILD_AFLAGS to
suppress R_RISCV_ALIGN which older lld can not handle:

ld.lld: error: capability.c:(.fixup+0x0): relocation R_RISCV_ALIGN requires unimplemented linker relaxation; recompile with -mno-relax but the .o is already compiled with -mno-relax

It does not look like this ever got picked up? Would it be possible to
pick it up for 6.1?

The original patch is at:

Cheers,
Nathan

Thanks for implementing relaxation in LLD for RISC-V!

ld.lld 14 and 15 both continue to link kernels and I have no issues
booting them in QEMU.
