s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36
Nathan Chancellor reports that the s390 vmlinux fails to link with
GNU ld < 2.36 since commit 99cb0d917ffa ("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 99cb0d917ffa,
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.
