powerpc: Fix build issue with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY
We recently added support for -fpatchable-function-entry and it is
enabled by default on ppc32 (ppc64 needs gcc v13.1.0). When building the
kernel for ppc32 and also enabling CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION,
we see the below build error with older gcc versions:
powerpc-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o(__patchable_function_entries): error: need linked-to section for --gc-sections
This error is thrown since __patchable_function_entries section would be
garbage collected with --gc-sections since it does not reference any
other kept sections. This has subsequently been fixed with:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7d072167715829eed0622616f6ae0182900de3e
Disable LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for gcc versions before v11.1.0 if
using -fpatchable-function-entry to avoid this bug.
