With GNU binutils 2.35+, linking with BFD produces warnings for vmlinux: aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: -z norelro ignored BFD can produce this warning when the target emulation mode does not support RELRO program headers, and -z relro or -z norelro is passed. Alan Modra clarifies: The default linker emulation for an aarch64-linux ld.bfd is -maarch64linux, the default for an aarch64-elf linker is -maarch64elf. They are not equivalent. If you choose -maarch64elf you get an emulation that doesn't support -z relro. The ARCH=arm64 kernel prefers -maarch64elf, but may fall back to -maarch64linux based on the toolchain configuration. LLD will always create RELRO program header regardless of target emulation. To avoid the above warning when linking with BFD, pass -z norelro only when linking with LLD or with -maarch64linux.

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.
