When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, there
are several warnings in the PowerPC vDSO:
clang-16: error: -Wl,-soname=linux-vdso32.so.1: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang-16: error: -Wl,--hash-style=both: 'linker' input unused [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-shared' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-nostdinc' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-Wa,-maltivec' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]
The first group of warnings point out that linker flags were being added
to all invocations of $(CC), even though they will only be used during
the final vDSO link. Move those flags to ldflags-y.
The second group of warnings are compiler or assembler flags that will
be unused during linking. Filter them out from KBUILD_CFLAGS so that
they are not used during linking.
Additionally, '-z noexecstack' was added directly to the ld_and_check
rule in commit 1d53c0192b ("powerpc/vdso: link with -z noexecstack")
but now that there is a common ldflags variable, it can be moved there.

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.
