From 3cb59581a860f5f542b37aed214f74b3f2ccfa32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Rutland Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:23:37 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8588/1: localise objcopy flags We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm 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 a few ELF files into raw binaries, 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 cases we require them for today.
