Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Add support for GNU gold

These patches add macros for detecting the linker name and version,
and apply fixes and workarounds needed to link the arm64 kernel with
GNU gold.

Changes since v1:
  - moved LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION fixes to the beginning of the
    patch set and removed mentions of gold
  - renamed ld-if-name-version to __ld-ifversion for consistency
  - cleaned up the erratum changes in arch/arm64/Makefile

Sami Tolvanen (7):
  kbuild: fix LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
  arm64: keep .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement
  kbuild: add ld-name macro
  kbuild: add __ld-ifversion and linker-specific macros
  arm64: fix -m for GNU gold
  arm64: explicitly pass --no-fix-cortex-a53-843419 to GNU gold
  arm64: add a workaround for GNU gold with ARM64_MODULE_PLTS
