arm64: add dependency between vmlinuz.efi and Image
A common issue in Makefile is a race in parallel building.
You need to be careful to prevent multiple threads from writing to the
same file simultaneously.
Commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not
generate invalid images") addressed such a bad scenario.
A similar symptom occurs with the following command:
$ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arm64 Image vmlinuz.efi
[ snip ]
SORTTAB vmlinux
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image
AS arch/arm64/boot/zboot-header.o
PAD arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin
GZIP arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.o
LD arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi.elf
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/vmlinuz.efi
The log "OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image" is displayed twice.
It indicates that two threads simultaneously enter arch/arm64/boot/
and write to arch/arm64/boot/Image.
It occasionally leads to a build failure:
$ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arm64 Image vmlinuz.efi
[ snip ]
SORTTAB vmlinux
OBJCOPY arch/arm64/boot/Image
PAD arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin
truncate: Invalid number: 'arch/arm64/boot/vmlinux.bin'
make[2]: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/Makefile.zboot:13:

make: *** [Makefile:234: __sub-make] Error 2
vmlinuz.efi depends on Image, but such a dependency is not specified
in arch/arm64/Makefile.
