[ Upstream commit 927185c124 ]
The kernel uses the OUTPUT_FORMAT linker script command in it's linker
scripts. Most of the time, the -m option is passed to the linker with
correct architecture, but sometimes (at least for x86_64) the -m option
contradicts the OUTPUT_FORMAT directive.
Specifically, arch/x86/boot and arch/x86/realmode/rm produce i386 object
files, but are linked with the -m elf_x86_64 linker flag when building
for x86_64.
The GNU linker manpage doesn't explicitly state any tie-breakers between
-m and OUTPUT_FORMAT. But with BFD and Gold linkers, OUTPUT_FORMAT
overrides the emulation value specified with the -m option.
LLVM lld has a different behavior, however. When supplied with
contradicting -m and OUTPUT_FORMAT values it fails with the following
error message:
ld.lld: error: arch/x86/realmode/rm/header.o is incompatible with elf_x86_64
Therefore, just add the correct -m after the incorrect one (it overrides
it), so the linker invocation looks like this:
ld -m elf_x86_64 -z max-page-size=0x200000 -m elf_i386 --emit-relocs -T \
realmode.lds header.o trampoline_64.o stack.o reboot.o -o realmode.elf
This is not a functional change for GNU ld, because (although not
explicitly documented) OUTPUT_FORMAT overrides -m EMULATION.
Tested by building x86_64 kernel with GNU gcc/ld toolchain and booting
it in QEMU.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
