[PATCH v3 2/3] riscv: vdso: Disable LTO for the vDSO
From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Wed Jun 11 2025 - 05:22:54 EST
All the other architectures supporting LTO (x86, arm64, loongarch) do not
use it for the vDSO.
Its is problematic for some upcoming compile-time validation of the
generated object code.
The LTO object files do not contain the necessary relocation information
and -flto-fat-objects is not compatible with clang < 16.
For consistency and to enable the mentioned compile-time checks,
disable LTO for the vDSO.
The vDSO heavily uses __always_inline anyways.
