[PATCH 1/9] scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: Delay orphan handling warnings until final link

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-28 00:22:53
Also in: linux-arch, linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

Right now, powerpc adds "--orphan-handling=warn" to LD_FLAGS_vmlinux
to detect when there are unexpected sections getting added to the kernel
image. There is no need to report these warnings more than once, so it
can be removed until the final link stage.

This helps pave the way for other architectures to enable this, with the
end goal of enabling this warning by default for vmlinux for all
architectures.
