[PATCH v4 1/7] kbuild: clear LDFLAGS in the top Makefile

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Fri Mar 16 2018 - 03:39:18 EST


Currently LDFLAGS is not cleared, so same flags are accumulated in
LDFLAGS when the top Makefile is recursively invoked.

I found unneeded rebuild for ARCH=arm64 when CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS
is enabled. If include/generated/autoksyms.h is updated, the top
Makefile is recursively invoked, then arch/arm64/Makefile adds one
more '-maarch64linux'. Due to the command line change, modules are
rebuilt needlessly.
