link-vmlinux.sh doesn't use LDFLAGS_vmlinux when linking the kernel for
UML. Move the LDFLAGS_EXESTACK options into CFLAGS_vmlinux so they're
actually respected.

e.g.
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms3.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack

<title>arch: um: Mark the stack non-executable to fix a binutils warning</title>

<id>bd71558d585ac61cfd799db7f25e78dca404dd7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Since binutils 2.39, ld will print a warning if any stack section is
executable, which is the default for stack sections on files without a
.note.GNU-stack section.

This was fixed for x86 in commit ffcf9c5700e4 ("x86: link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments"),
but remained broken for UML, resulting in several warnings:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: arch/x86/um/vdso/vdso.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1 has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2 has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
/usr/bin/ld: warning: .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
/usr/bin/ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
/usr/bin/ld: warning: vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

Link both the VDSO and vmlinux with -z noexecstack, fixing the warnings
about .note.GNU-stack sections. In addition, pass --no-warn-rwx-segments
to dodge the remaining warnings about LOAD segments with RWX permissions
in the kallsyms objects. (Note that this flag is apparently not
available on lld, so hide it behind a test for BFD, which is what the
x86 patch does.)

This reverts commit 6580c5c18fb3df2b11c5e0452372f815deeff895.

This patch is buggy, as noted in the patch linked below. The root cause
has been solved by removing '-mno-global-merge' for the entire kernel.

As explained in commit 3204a7fb98a3 ("kbuild: prefix $(srctree)/ to some
included Makefiles"), I want to stop using --include-dir some day.

I already fixed up the top Makefile, but some arch Makefiles (mips, um,
x86) still include check-in Makefiles without $(srctree)/.

Fix them up so 'need-sub-make := 1' can go away for this case.

<title>um: allow not setting extra rpaths in the linux binary</title>

There doesn't seem to be any reason for the rpath being set in
the binaries, at on systems that I tested on. On the other hand,
setting rpath is actually harming binaries in some cases, e.g.
if using nix-based compilation environments where /lib &amp; /lib64
are not part of the actual environment.

Add a new Kconfig option (under EXPERT, for less user confusion)
that allows disabling the rpath additions.

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.

No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.

GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)

Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.

Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.

Note:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile adds -fno-stack-protector twice, first
unconditionally, and second conditionally. I removed the second one.
