arm64/vdso: Discard .note.gnu.property sections in vDSO
[ Upstream commit 388708028e6937f3fc5fc19aeeb847f8970f489c ]
The arm64 assembler in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program
property note in a note section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86
ISAs and features. But the kernel linker script only contains a single
NOTE segment:
PHDRS
{
text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5) FILEHDR PHDRS; /* PF_R|PF_X */
dynamic PT_DYNAMIC FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
note PT_NOTE FLAGS(4); /* PF_R */
}
The NOTE segment generated by the vDSO linker script is aligned to 4 bytes.
But the .note.gnu.property section must be aligned to 8 bytes on arm64.
$ readelf -n vdso64.so
Displaying notes found in: .note
Owner Data size Description
Linux 0x00000004 Unknown note type: (0x00000000)
description data: 06 00 00 00
readelf: Warning: note with invalid namesz and/or descsz found at offset 0x20
readelf: Warning: type: 0x78, namesize: 0x00000100, descsize: 0x756e694c, alignment: 8
Since the note.gnu.property section in the vDSO is not checked by the
dynamic linker, discard the .note.gnu.property sections in the vDSO.
Similar to commit 4caffe6a28d31 ("x86/vdso: Discard .note.gnu.property
sections in vDSO"), but for arm64.
