From 4800091d0ce47de62d584cda0c4c4eb2eedbe794 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2025 22:33:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 6.12 and 6.13] ARM: 9443/1: Require linker to support KEEP within OVERLAY for DCE commit e7607f7d6d81af71dcc5171278aadccc94d277cd upstream. ld.lld prior to 21.0.0 does not support using the KEEP keyword within an overlay description, which may be needed to avoid discarding necessary sections within an overlay with '--gc-sections', which can be enabled for the kernel via CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION. Disallow CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION without support for KEEP within OVERLAY and introduce a macro, OVERLAY_KEEP, that can be used to conditionally add KEEP when it is properly supported to avoid breaking old versions of ld.lld.
