# For the pre-R6 code in arch/mips/vdso/vdso.h for locating # the base address of VDSO, the linker will emit a R_MIPS_PC32 # relocation in binutils > 2.25 but it will fail with older versions # because that relocation is not supported for that symbol. As a result # of which we are forced to disable the VDSO symbols when building # with < 2.25 binutils on pre-R6 kernels. For more references on why we # can't use other methods to get the base address of VDSO please refer to # the comments on that file. # # GCC (at least up to version 9.2) appears to emit function calls that make use # of the GOT when targeting microMIPS, which we can't use in the VDSO due to # the lack of relocations. As such, we disable the VDSO for microMIPS builds. config MIPS_LD_CAN_LINK_VDSO def_bool LD_VERSION >= 225000000 || LD_IS_LLD config MIPS_DISABLE_VDSO def_bool CPU_MICROMIPS || (!CPU_MIPSR6 && !MIPS_LD_CAN_LINK_VDSO)
