<id>5ff8ad3909524ad55297a434f87c238224825bf4</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a follow up to commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild: enable
-fms-extensions") but in a separate change due to being substantially
different from the initial submission.

There are many places within the kernel that use their own CFLAGS
instead of the main KBUILD_CFLAGS, meaning code written with the main
kernel's use of '-fms-extensions' in mind that may be tangentially
included in these areas will result in "error: declaration does not
declare anything" messages from the compiler.

Add '-fms-extensions' to all these areas to ensure consistency, along
with -Wno-microsoft-anon-tag to silence clang's warning about use of the
extension that the kernel cares about using. parisc does not build with
clang so it does not need this warning flag. LoongArch does not need it
either because -W flags from KBUILD_FLAGS are pulled into cflags-vdso.

These warnings don't seem to trigger anymore. Probably due to the
introduction of the vdso/ header namespace. Nowadays these suppression

The ENABLE_COMAPT_VDSO symbol is only used by arm64 and only for the
time-related functionality. There should be no new users, so it doesn't
need to be in the generic vDSO code.

Move the logic into arm64 architecture-specific code and replace the
explicit define by the standard '#ifdef __aarch64__'.

As the Makefile is included into other Makefiles it can not be used to
define objects to be built from the current source directory.
However the generic datastore will introduce such a local source file.
Rename the included Makefile so it is clear how it is to be used and to
make room for a regular Makefile in lib/vdso/.

<content type='text'>
glibc added support for .gnu.hash in 2006 and .hash has been obsoleted
for more than one decade in many Linux distributions.  Using
--hash-style=sysv might imply unaddressed issues and confuse readers.

Just drop the option and rely on the linker default, which is likely
"both", or "gnu" when the distribution really wants to eliminate sysv
hash overhead.

Similar to commit 6b7e26547fad ("x86/vdso: Emit a GNU hash").

'make vdso_install' renames arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg to
vdso32.so during installation, which allows 64-bit and 32-bit vdso
files to be installed in the same directory.

However, arm64 is the only architecture that requires this renaming.

To simplify the vdso_install logic, rename the in-tree vdso file so
its base name matches the installed file name.
