+Subject: [PATCH] Discard .note.gnu.property sections in generic NOTES
+
+With the command-line option, -mx86-used-note=yes, the x86 assembler
+in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program property note in a note
+section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86 ISAs and features.  But
+kernel linker script only contains a single NOTE segment:
+
+PHDRS {
+ text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5);
+ data PT_LOAD FLAGS(6);
+ percpu PT_LOAD FLAGS(6);
+ init PT_LOAD FLAGS(7);
+ note PT_NOTE FLAGS(0);
+}
+SECTIONS
+{
+...
+ .notes : AT(ADDR(.notes) - 0xffffffff80000000) { __start_notes = .; KEEP(*(.not
+e.*)) __stop_notes = .; } :text :note
+...
+}
+
+The NOTE segment generated by kernel linker script is aligned to 4 bytes.
+But .note.gnu.property section must be aligned to 8 bytes on x86-64 and
+we get
+
+[hjl@gnu-skx-1 linux]$ readelf -n vmlinux

+
+Since note.gnu.property section in kernel image is never used, this patch
+discards .note.gnu.property sections in kernel linker script by adding
+
+/DISCARD/ : {
+  *(.note.gnu.property)
+}
+
+before kernel NOTE segment in generic NOTES.
