[PATCH 2/3] tools/nolibc: stackprotector: mark implicitly used symbols as used
Posted by Thomas Weißschuh 1 year, 6 months ago
During LTO the references from the compiler-generated prologue and
epilogues to the stack protector symbols are not visible and the symbols
are removed.
This will then lead to errors during linking.
As those symbols are already #ifdeffed-out if unused mark them as "used"
to prevent their removal.
