Linking purgatory.ro with -r enables "incremental linking"; this means
no checks for unresolved symbols are done while linking purgatory.ro.
A change to the sha256 code has caused the purgatory in 5.4-rc1 to have
a missing symbol on memzero_explicit(), yet things still happily build.
Add an extra check for unresolved symbols by calling ld without -r
before running bin2c to generate kexec-purgatory.c.
This causes a build of 5.4-rc1 with this patch added to fail as it should:
CHK arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.ro
ld: arch/x86/purgatory/purgatory.ro: in function `sha256_transform':
sha256.c:(.text+0x1c0c): undefined reference to `memzero_explicit'
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/purgatory/Makefile:72:
arch/x86/purgatory/kexec-purgatory.c] Error 1
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:509: arch/x86/purgatory] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1650: arch/x86] Error 2
Also remove --no-undefined from LDFLAGS_purgatory.ro as that has no
effect.

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.
