icp: emit .note.GNU-stack section for all ELF targets - #18119
Merged
Merged
Conversation
On FreeBSD, linking the zfs kernel module with binutils ld 2.44 shows
the following warning:
ld: warning: aesni-gcm-avx2-vaes.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section
implies executable stack
ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a
future version of the linker
Some of the `.S` files under `module/icp/asm-x86_64/modes` check whether
to emit the `.note.GNU-stack` section using:
#if defined(__linux__) && defined(__ELF__)
We could add `&& defined(__FreeBSD__)` to the test, but since all other
`.S` files in the OpenZFS tree use:
#ifdef __ELF__
it would seem more logical to use that instead. Any recent ELF platform
should support these note sections by now.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yeah, putting this under an __ELF__ check as we've done elsewhere makes the most sense. Thanks for the fix.
