This is a GCC only option, which warns about ABI changes within GCC, so
unconditionally adding it breaks Clang with tons of:
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
and link time failures:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __efistub___stack_chk_guard
>>> referenced by arm-stub.c:73
(/home/nathan/cbl/linux/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/arm-stub.c:73)
>>> arm-stub.stub.o:(__efistub_install_memreserve_table)
in archive ./drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a
These failures come from the lack of -fno-stack-protector, which is
added via cc-option in drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile. When an
unknown flag is added to KBUILD_CFLAGS, clang will noisily warn that it
is ignoring the option like above, unlike gcc, who will just error.
$ echo "int main() { return 0; }" > tmp.c
$ clang -Wno-psabi tmp.c; echo $?
warning: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi' [-Wunknown-warning-option]
1 warning generated.
0
$ gcc -Wsometimes-uninitialized tmp.c; echo $?
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option
‘-Wsometimes-uninitialized’; did you mean ‘-Wmaybe-uninitialized’?
1
For cc-option to work properly with clang and behave like gcc, -Werror
is needed, which was done in commit c3f0d0bc5b01 ("kbuild, LLVMLinux:
Add -Werror to cc-option to support clang").
$ clang -Werror -Wno-psabi tmp.c; echo $?
error: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi'
[-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
1
As a consequence of this, when an unknown flag is unconditionally added
to KBUILD_CFLAGS, it will cause cc-option to always fail and those flags
will never get added:
$ clang -Werror -Wno-psabi -fno-stack-protector tmp.c; echo $?
error: unknown warning option '-Wno-psabi'
[-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
1
This can be seen when compiling the whole kernel as some warnings that
are normally disabled (see below) show up. The full list of flags
missing from drivers/firmware/efi/libstub are the following (gathered
from diffing .arm64-stub.o.cmd):
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks
-Wno-address-of-packed-member
-Wframe-larger-than=2048
-Wno-unused-const-variable
-fno-strict-overflow
-fno-merge-all-constants
-fno-stack-check
-Werror=date-time
-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types
-ffreestanding
-fno-stack-protector
Use cc-disable-warning so that it gets disabled for GCC and does nothing
for Clang.

Until recently, if KBUILD_DEFCONFIG was not set by the arch Makefile,
the default path arch/*/defconfig was used.
The last users of the default are gone by the following commits:
- Commit f3e20ad67b4c ("s390: move arch/s390/defconfig to
arch/s390/configs/defconfig")
- Commit 986a13769c4b ("alpha: move arch/alpha/defconfig to
arch/alpha/configs/defconfig")
Let's set arch/*/configs/defconfig as a new default. This saves
KBUILD_DEFCONFIG for some architectures.

Since GCC 9, the compiler warns about evolution of the
platform-specific ABI, in particular relating for the marshaling of
certain structures involving bitfields.
The kernel is a standalone binary, and of course nobody would be
so stupid as to expose structs containing bitfields as function
arguments in ABI. (Passing a pointer to such a struct, however
inadvisable, should be unaffected by this change. perf and various
drivers rely on that.)
So these warnings do more harm than good: turn them off.
We may miss warnings about future ABI drift, but that's too bad.
Future ABI breaks of this class will have to be debugged and fixed
the traditional way unless the compiler evolves finer-grained
diagnostics.

Tag-based KASAN uses 1 shadow byte for 16 bytes of kernel memory, so it

This commit sets KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT to 4 when the tag-based KASAN

This enables the use of per-task stack canary values if GCC has
support for emitting the stack canary reference relative to the
value of sp_el0, which holds the task struct pointer in the arm64
kernel.
The $(eval) extends KBUILD_CFLAGS at the moment the make rule is
applied, which means asm-offsets.o (which we rely on for the offset
value) is built without the arguments, and everything built afterwards
has the options set.

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR):
readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.
Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and
thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment
is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate)
PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to
support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well.
- Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd,
the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type
of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the
same time.
- Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for
shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified
by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings
above).
- Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the
linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program
header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere
to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of
ld.bfd.
- Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being
emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout.
These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary
image.

After 'a66649dab350 arm64: fix vdso-offsets.h dependency' if
one will try to build .i file in case of external kernel module,
build fails complaining that prepare0 target is missing. This
issue came up with SystemTap when it tries to build variety
of .i files for its own generated kernel modules trying to
figure given kernel features/capabilities.
The issue is that prepare0 is defined in top level Makefile
only if KBUILD_EXTMOD is not defined. .i file rule depends
on prepare and in case KBUILD_EXTMOD defined top level Makefile
contains empty rule for prepare. But after mentioned commit
arch/arm64/Makefile would introduce dependency on prepare0
through its own prepare target.
Fix it to put proper ifdef KBUILD_EXTMOD around code introduced
by mentioned commit. It matches what top level Makefile does.

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.
The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.
This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add

Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add

Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.
For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.
Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.
Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.
I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A bunch of good stuff in here. Worth noting is that we've pulled in
the x86/mm branch from -tip so that we can make use of the core
ioremap changes which allow us to put down huge mappings in the

- Wire up support for qspinlock, replacing our trusty ticket lock
code
- Add an IPI to flush_icache_range() to ensure that stale
instructions fetched into the pipeline are discarded along with the
I-cache lines
- Support for the GCC "stackleak" plugin
- Support for restartable sequences, plus an arm64 port for the
selftest
- Kexec/kdump support on systems booting with ACPI
- Rewrite of our syscall entry code in C, which allows us to zero the
GPRs on entry from userspace
- Support for chained PMU counters, allowing 64-bit event counters to
be constructed on current CPUs
- Ensure scheduler topology information is kept up-to-date with CPU
hotplug events
- Re-enable support for huge vmalloc/IO mappings now that the core
code has the correct hooks to use break-before-make sequences

Linking the ARM64 defconfig kernel with LLVM lld fails with the error:
ld.lld: error: unknown argument: -p
Makefile:1015: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
Without this flag, the ARM64 defconfig kernel successfully links with
lld and boots on Dragonboard 410c.
After digging through binutils source and changelogs, it turns out that
-p is only relevant to ancient binutils installations targeting 32-bit
ARM. binutils accepts -p for AArch64 too, but it's always been
undocumented and silently ignored. A comment in
ld/emultempl/aarch64elf.em explains that it's "Only here for backwards
compatibility".
Since this flag is a no-op on ARM64, we can safely drop it.

With the recent syntax extension, Kconfig is now able to evaluate the

However, accumulating flags to 'LD' is not compatible with the way
it works; 'LD' must be passed to Kconfig to call $(ld-option,...)

CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, this would end up with circular dependency
between Makefile and Kconfig.

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

Working around Cortex-A53 erratum #843419 involves special handling of
ADRP instructions that end up in the last two instruction slots of a
4k page, or whose output register gets overwritten without having been
read. (Note that the latter instruction sequence is never emitted by
a properly functioning compiler, which is why it is disregarded by the
handling of the same erratum in the bfd.ld linker which we rely on for
the core kernel)
Normally, this gets taken care of by the linker, which can spot such
sequences at final link time, and insert a veneer if the ADRP ends up
at a vulnerable offset. However, linux kernel modules are partially
linked ELF objects, and so there is no 'final link time' other than the
runtime loading of the module, at which time all the static relocations
are resolved.
For this reason, we have implemented the #843419 workaround for modules
by avoiding ADRP instructions altogether, by using the large C model,
and by passing -mpc-relative-literal-loads to recent versions of GCC
that may emit adrp/ldr pairs to perform literal loads. However, this
workaround forces us to keep literal data mixed with the instructions
in the executable .text segment, and literal data may inadvertently
turn into an exploitable speculative gadget depending on the relative
offsets of arbitrary symbols.
So let's reimplement this workaround in a way that allows us to switch
back to the small C model, and to drop the -mpc-relative-literal-loads
GCC switch, by patching affected ADRP instructions at runtime:
- ADRP instructions that do not appear at 4k relative offset 0xff8 or
0xffc are ignored
- ADRP instructions that are within 1 MB of their target symbol are
converted into ADR instructions
- remaining ADRP instructions are redirected via a veneer that performs
the load using an unaffected movn/movk sequence.

When building the arm64 kernel with both CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS and
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, the ftrace-mod.o object file is built
with the kernel and contains a trampoline that is linked into each
module, so that modules can be loaded far away from the kernel and
still reach the ftrace entry point in the core kernel with an ordinary
relative branch, as is emitted by the compiler instrumentation code
dynamic ftrace relies on.
In order to be able to build out of tree modules, this object file
needs to be included into the linux-headers or linux-devel packages,
which is undesirable, as it makes arm64 a special case (although a
precedent does exist for 32-bit PPC).
Given that the trampoline essentially consists of a PLT entry, let's
not bother with a source or object file for it, and simply patch it
in whenever the trampoline is being populated, using the existing
PLT support routines.

Versions of gcc prior to gcc 5 emitted a __multi3 function call when
dealing with TI types, resulting in failures when trying to link to
libgcc, and more generally, bad performance. However, since gcc 5,
the compiler supports actually emitting fast instructions, which means
we can at long last enable this option and receive the speedups.
The gcc commit that added proper Aarch64 support is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1ae7bb994f49316f6f63e6173f2931e837a351d
This commit appears to be part of the gcc 5 release.
There are still a few instructions, __ashlti3 and __ashrti3, which
require libgcc, which is fine. Rather than linking to libgcc, we
simply provide them ourselves, since they're not that complicated.

As noted by Rahul:
"aarch64 binaries uses RELA relocations, where each relocation entry
includes an addend value. This is similar to x86_64. On x86_64, the
addend values are also stored at the relocation offset for relative
relocations. This is an optimization: in the case where code does not
need to be relocated, the loader can simply skip processing relative
relocations. In binutils-2.25, both bfd and gold linkers did this for
x86_64, but only the gold linker did this for aarch64. The kernel build
here is using the bfd linker, which stored zeroes at the relocation
offsets for relative relocations. Since a set of zeroes compresses
better than a set of non-zero addend values, this behavior was resulting
in much better lz4 compression.
The bfd linker in binutils-2.27 is now storing the actual addend values
at the relocation offsets. The behavior is now consistent with what it
does for x86_64 and what gold linker does for both architectures. The
change happened in this upstream commit:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1f56df9d0d5ad89806c24e71f296576d82344613
Since a bunch of zeroes got replaced by non-zero addend values, we see
the side effect of lz4 compressed image being a bit bigger.
To get the old behavior from the bfd linker, "--no-apply-dynamic-relocs"
flag can be used:
$ LDFLAGS="--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" make
With this flag, the compressed image size is back to what it was with
binutils-2.25.
If the kernel is using ASLR, there aren't additional runtime costs to
--no-apply-dynamic-relocs, as the relocations will need to be applied
again anyway after the kernel is relocated to a random address.
If the kernel is not using ASLR, then presumably the current default
behavior of the linker is better. Since the static linker performed the
dynamic relocs, and the kernel is not moved to a different address at
load time, it can skip applying the relocations all over again."

binutils 2.27 without this patch (without --no-apply-dynamic-relocs):
Image 41535488
Image.gz 14125516
Any compression scheme should be able to get better results from the
longer runs of zeros, not just GZIP and LZ4.
10ms boot time savings isn't anything to get excited about, but users of
arm64+compression+bfd-2.27 should not have to pay a penalty for no
runtime improvement.

ARM64 depends on the macro __AARCH64EB__ being defined or not
to correctly select or define endian-specific macros, structures
or pieces of code.
This macro is predefined by the compiler but sparse knows nothing
about it and thus may pre-process files differently from what
gcc would.
Fix this by passing '-D__AARCH64EL__' or '-D__AARCH64EB__' to
sparse depending of the endianness of the kernel, like defined
by GCC.
Note: In most case it won't change anything since most arm64 use
little-endian (but an allyesconfig would use big-endian!).

When using sparse on the arm64 tree we get many thousands of
warnings like 'constant ... is so big it is unsigned long long'
or 'shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'. This happens
because by default sparse considers the machine as 32bit and
defines the size of the types accordingly.
Fix this by passing the '-m64' flag to sparse so that
sparse can correctly define longs as being 64bit.

Currently, dynamic ftrace support in the arm64 kernel assumes that all
core kernel code is within range of ordinary branch instructions that
occur in module code, which is usually the case, but is no longer
guaranteed now that we have support for module PLTs and address space
randomization.
Since on arm64, all patching of branch instructions involves function
calls to the same entry point [ftrace_caller()], we can emit the modules
with a trampoline that has unlimited range, and patch both the trampoline
itself and the branch instruction to redirect the call via the trampoline.

Since bbb56c27228d ("arm64: Add detection code for broken .inst support
in binutils"), running any make target that doesn't involve the cross
compiler results in a spurious warning:
$ make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig
arch/arm64/Makefile:43: Detected assembler with broken .inst; disassembly will be unreliable
while
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-arm-linux- menuconfig
is silent (assuming your compiler is not affected). That's because
the code that tests for the workaround is always run, irrespective
of the current configuration being available or not.
An easy fix is to make the detection conditional on CONFIG_ARM64
being defined, which is only the case when actually building
something.

GNU ld used to set the ELF file type to ET_DYN for PIE executables, which
is the same file type used for shared libraries. However, this was changed
recently, and now PIE executables are emitted as ET_EXEC instead.
The distinction is only relevant for ELF loaders, and so there is little
reason to care about the difference when building the kernel, which is
why the change has gone unnoticed until now.
However, debuggers do use the ELF binary, and expect ET_EXEC type files
to appear in memory at the exact offset described in the ELF metadata.
This means source level debugging is no longer possible when KASLR is in
effect or when executing the stub.
So add the -shared LD option when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. This
forces the ELF file type to be set to ET_DYN (which is what you get when
building with binutils 2.24 and earlier anyway), and has no other ill
effects.

The linker routines that we rely on to produce a relocatable PIE binary
treat it as a shared ELF object in some ways, i.e., it emits symbol based
R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations into the final binary since doing so would be
appropriate when linking a shared library that is subject to symbol
preemption. (This means that an executable can override certain symbols
that are exported by a shared library it is linked with, and that the
shared library *must* update all its internal references as well, and point
them to the version provided by the executable.)
Symbol preemption does not occur for OS hosted PIE executables, let alone
for vmlinux, and so we would prefer to get rid of these symbol based
relocations. This would allow us to simplify the relocation routines, and
to strip the .dynsym, .dynstr and .hash sections from the binary. (Note
that these are tiny, and are placed in the .init segment, but they clutter
up the vmlinux binary.)
Note that these R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations are only emitted for absolute
references to symbols defined in the linker script, all other relocatable
quantities are covered by anonymous R_AARCH64_RELATIVE relocations that
simply list the offsets to all 64-bit values in the binary that need to be
fixed up based on the offset between the link time and run time addresses.
Fortunately, GNU ld has a -Bsymbolic option, which is intended for shared
libraries to allow them to ignore symbol preemption, and unconditionally
bind all internal symbol references to its own definitions. So set it for
our PIE binary as well, and get rid of the asoociated sections and the
relocation code that processes them.

We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm64 Makefile, and
thus these flags will be passed to all uses of objcopy, kernel-wide, for
which they are not explicitly overridden. The flags we set are intended
for converting vmlinux (and ELF) into Image (a raw binary), and thus the
flags chosen are problematic for some other uses which do not expect a
raw binary result, e.g. the upcoming lkdtm rodata test:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/06/08/2
This patch localises the objcopy flags such that they are only used for
the vmlinux -> Image conversion.

arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include vdso-offsets.h, as well as any
file that includes asm/vdso.h. Therefore, vdso-offsets.h must be
generated before these files are compiled.
The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce
this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for
vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of
building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a
consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed,
vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o
are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on
vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary
rebuilds. This is made obvious when using make -j:
touch arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S && make -j$NCPUS arch/arm64/kernel
will sometimes result in none of arm64/kernel/*.o being
rebuilt, sometimes all of them, or even just some of them.
It is quite difficult to ensure that a header is generated before it
is used with recursive Makefiles by using normal rules. Instead,
arch-specific generated headers are normally built in the archprepare
recipe in the arch Makefile (see for instance arch/ia64/Makefile).
Unfortunately, asm-offsets.h is included in gettimeofday.S, and must
therefore be generated before vdso-offsets.h, which is not the case if
archprepare is used. For this reason, a rule run after archprepare has
to be used.
This commit adds rules in arm64/Makefile to build vdso-offsets.h
during the prepare step, ensuring that vdso-offsets.h is generated
before building anything. It also removes the now-unnecessary
dependencies on vdso-offsets.h in arm64/kernel/Makefile. Finally, it
removes the duplication of asm-offsets.h between arm64/kernel/vdso/
and include/generated/ and makes include/generated/vdso-offsets.h a
target in arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile.

Commit 7eb90f2ff7e3 ("arm64: cover the .head.text section in the .text
segment mapping") removed the alignment between the .head.text and .text
sections, and used the _text rather than the _stext interval for mapping
the .text segment.
Prior to this commit _stext was always section aligned and didn't cause
any issue even when RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET was enabled. Since that
alignment has been removed and _text is used to map the .text segment,
we need ensure _text is always page aligned when RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET
is enabled.
This patch adds logic to TEXT_OFFSET fuzzing to ensure that the offset
is always aligned to the kernel page size. To ensure this, we rely on
the PAGE_SHIFT being available via Kconfig.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively
intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.
Summary:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture
requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
that's not always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
anywhere in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
privileged accesses via the UAO bit
- Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
- Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
run-time code patching)
- copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
- Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
big.LITTLE configurations)
- valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
sigcontext information (restored pstate information)
- ACPI parking protocol implementation
- CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
- VDSO code marked as read-only
- DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative
branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which
may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area,
making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum
range of +/- 128 MB.
In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against
.init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason
is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually
does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only
reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined
symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be
within +/- 128 MB)
For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB)
built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts:
relocs branches unique !local
.text 3925 3347 518 219
.init.text 11 8 7 1
.exit.text 4 4 4 1
.text.unlikely 81 67 36 17
('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which
!local is the subset referring to undefined symbols)
IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and
we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

For the same reason as commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make "make
install" not depend on vmlinux"), the install targets should never
trigger the rebuild of the kernel.

GCC6 (and Linaro's 2015.12 snapshot of GCC5) has a new default that uses
adrp/ldr or adrp/add to address literal pools. When CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419
is enabled, modules built with this toolchain fail to load:
module libahci: unsupported RELA relocation: 275
This patch fixes the problem by passing '-mpc-relative-literal-loads'
to the compiler.

By default the aarch64 gcc generates .eh_frame sections. Unlike
.debug_frame sections, the .eh_frame sections are loaded into memory
when the associated code is loaded. On an example kernel being built
with this default the .eh_frame section in vmlinux used an extra 1.7MB
of memory. The x86 disables the creation of the .eh_frame section.
The aarch64 should probably do the same to save some memory.
