5353fff29e scripts/head-object-list: Remove x86 from the list
Now that x86 boot code is not hardcoded to the particular linking
order, remove x86 files from the list and let them be placed inside
the vmlinux according only to the linker script and linker
preferences.

994b7ac169 arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o
In the previous discussion (see the Link tag), Ard pointed out that
arm/arm64/kernel/head.o does not need any special treatment - the only
piece that must appear right at the start of the binary image is the
image header which is emitted into .head.text.

The linker script does the right thing to do. The build system does
not need to manipulate the link order of head.o.

arch/riscv/kernel/head.o does not need any special treatment - the only
requirement is the ".head.text" section must be placed before the
normal ".text" section.

8afc66e8d4 Merge tag 'kbuild-v6.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild
Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

ce697ccee1 kbuild: remove head-y syntax
Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.

A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.

I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.

I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.
