Gcc recently implemented an optimization [1] for loading symbols without explicit alignment, aligning with the IBM Z ELF ABI. This ABI mandates symbols to reside on a 2-byte boundary, enabling the use of the larl instruction. However, kernel linker scripts may still generate unaligned symbols. To address this, a new -munaligned-symbols option has been introduced [2] in recent gcc versions. [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-June/622872.html [2] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-August/625986.html However, when -munaligned-symbols is used in vdso code, it leads to the following compilation error: `.data.rel.ro.local' referenced in section `.text' of arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso64_generic.o: defined in discarded section `.data.rel.ro.local' of arch/s390/kernel/vdso64/vdso64_generic.o vdso linker script discards .data section to make it lightweight. However, -munaligned-symbols in vdso object files references literal pool and accesses _vdso_data. Hence, compile vdso code without -munaligned-symbols. This means in the future, vdso code should deal with alignment of newly introduced unaligned linker symbols.
