From bd0f98eba6840d99b791b36a01b83fc62d55235f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2018 19:14:24 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove internally used LDFLAGS_vmlinux from kbuild.txt Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt lists variables used in Makefile whereas Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt describes user assignable parameters given via environments or the command line. The top Makefile and arch/*/Makefile accumulate proper linker flags to LDFLAGS_vmlinux. So, users can not override it from the command line. Generally, per-file options are not supposed to be user-assignable. Remove the misleading entry from kbuild.txt. If we need a way to append user-specific flags for linking the kernel, LDFLAGS_KERNEL would be a consistent choice because we already expose LDFLAGS_MODULE counter-part to users.
