commit 379d98ddf41344273d9718556f761420f4dc80b3 upstream.
The vdso{32,64}.so can fail to link with CC=clang when clang tries to find a suitable GCC toolchain to link these libraries with.
/usr/bin/ld: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.o: access beyond end of merged section (782)
This happens because the host environment leaked into the cross compiler environment due to the way clang searches for suitable GCC toolchains.
Clang is a retargetable compiler, and each invocation of it must provide --target=<something> --gcc-toolchain=<something> to allow it to find the correct binutils for cross compilation. These flags had been added to KBUILD_CFLAGS, but the vdso code uses CC and not KBUILD_CFLAGS (for various reasons) which breaks clang's ability to find the correct linker when cross compiling.
Most of the time this goes unnoticed because the host linker is new enough to work anyway, or is incompatible and skipped, but this cannot be reliably assumed.
This change alters the vdso makefile to just use LD directly, which bypasses clang and thus the searching problem. The makefile will just use ${CROSS_COMPILE}ld instead, which is always what we want. This matches the method used to link vmlinux.
This drops references to DISABLE_LTO; this option doesn't seem to be set anywhere, and not knowing what its possible values are, it's not clear how to convert it from CC to LD flag.
