From 1198c9c689cfdaa2d08eb508c13ff116043f07b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naveen N Rao Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 12:38:44 +0530 Subject: kbuild: Add generic hook for architectures to use before the final vmlinux link On powerpc, we would like to be able to make a pass on vmlinux.o and generate a new object file to be linked into vmlinux. Add a generic pass in Makefile.vmlinux that architectures can use for this purpose. Architectures need to select CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_PRE_LINK_VMLINUX and must provide arch//tools/Makefile with .arch.vmlinux.o target, which will be invoked prior to the final vmlinux link step.
