+Subject: Makefile: link with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments
+
+From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
+
+commit 0d362be5b14200b77ecc2127936a5ff82fbffe41 upstream.
+
+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.
