commit99cb0d917fupstream. Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux since commit994b7ac169("arm64: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). The issue is that the type of .notes section, which contains the BuildID, changed from NOTES to PROGBITS. Ard Biesheuvel figured out that whichever object gets linked first gets to decide the type of a section. The PROGBITS type is the result of the compiler emitting .note.GNU-stack as PROGBITS rather than NOTE. While Ard provided a fix for arm64, I want to fix this globally because the same issue is happening on riscv since commit2348e6bf44("riscv: remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). This problem will happen in general for other architectures if they start to drop unneeded entries from scripts/head-object-list.txt. Discard .note.GNU-stack in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

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.
