Debian toolcahin defaults to PIE, and I guess that will also be the case of most distributions. This causes the following build failure: AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/getcpu.o AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/flush_icache.o VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg OBJCOPY arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.o VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o LD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o' make[2]: *** [arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/Makefile:43: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:575: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:1018: arch/riscv/kernel] Error 2 While the root Makefile correctly passes "-fno-PIE" to build individual object files, the RISC-V kernel also builds vdso-dummy.o as an executable, which is therefore linked as PIE. Fix that by updating this specific link rule to also include "-no-pie". Signed-off-by: Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net> Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@sifive.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
