Masahiro Yamada 1e49bb9ba9 s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36
commit a494398bde upstream.

Nathan Chancellor reports that the s390 vmlinux fails to link with
GNU ld < 2.36 since commit 99cb0d917f ("arch: fix broken BuildID
for arm64 and riscv").

It happens for defconfig, or more specifically for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

  $ s390x-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1
  GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2
  $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- allnoconfig
  $ ./scripts/config -e CONFIG_EXPOLINE
  $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- olddefconfig
  $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu-
  `.exit.text' referenced in section `.s390_return_reg' of drivers/base/dd.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/base/dd.o
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2

arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S wants to keep EXIT_TEXT:

        .exit.text : {
                EXIT_TEXT
        }

But, at the same time, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by DISCARD because
s390 does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

I still do not understand why the latter wins after 99cb0d917f,
but defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT seems correct because the comment
line in arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S says:

        /*
         * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time,
         * to deal with references from __bug_table
         */

Nathan also found that binutils commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output
sections in scripts") cured this issue, so we cannot reproduce it with
binutils 2.36+, but it is better to not rely on it.

README

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.

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.
