x86/vdso: drop implicit common-page-size linker flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
These are implied by the target architecture and for x86_64 match the
max-page-size. The default for non-NaCl x86_64 is 0x1000 (4096).

In bfd the common page size is defined as 0x1000 (4096) for non-NaCl
x86_64 targets:

bfd/elf64-x86-64.c:
4998:#define ELF_COMMONPAGESIZE             0x1000

For gold, the common page size is defined as 0x1000 (4096) for non-NaCl
x86_64 targets:

gold/x86_64.cc:
1413:  0x1000, // common_pagesize (overridable by -z common-page-size)
1442:  0x1000, // common_pagesize (overridable by -z common-page-size)

(ELF_COMMONPAGESIZE also defaults to ELF_MAXPAGESIZE when not set
explicitly for a target architecture in bfd/elfxx-target.h, but that's
not relevant for x86_64).

Because it's implied by the target architecture, it's of questionable
use to implement in LLD.  This patch resolves one of the issues towards
using LLD to link an x86_64 kernel.

Fixes commit 2aae950 ("x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with
gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu")
