[PATCH v4 25/35] sparc64: vdso: Link with -z noexecstack

From: Thomas Weißschuh <hidden>
Date: 2025-10-14 06:49:26
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-kselftest, linux-mips, linux-s390, lkml, loongarch, sparclinux
Subsystem: sparc + ultrasparc (sparc/sparc64), the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Andreas Larsson, Linus Torvalds

The vDSO stack does not need to be executable. Prevent the linker from
creating executable. For more background see commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86:
link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments").

Also prevent the following warning from the linker:
sparc64-linux-ld: warning: arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-note.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
sparc64-linux-ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
