Users of GNU ld (BFD) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple instances of a new warning when linking kernels in the form: ld: warning: vmlinux: 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 ld: warning: vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions Generally, we would like to avoid the stack being executable. Because there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the .note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command line flag --noexecstack. Or we can simply tell the linker the production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as --noexecstack. LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt to be explicit here for all linkers IMO. --no-warn-rwx-segments is currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release, so it's wrapped in an ld-option check. While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use permissions from ELF segments.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
