Subject: [PATCH v2 06/11] tools/nolibc: add option to disable runtime
From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@...el.com>
In principle, it is possible to use nolibc for only some object files in
a program. In that case, the startup code in _start and _start_c is not
going to be used. Add the NOLIBC_NO_RUNTIME compile time option to
disable it entirely and also remove anything that depends on it.
Doing this avoids warnings from modpost for UML as the _start_c code
references the main function from the .init.text section while it is not
inside .init itself.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@...el.com>

v2:
- Renamed from NOLIBC_NO_STARTCODE to NOLIBC_NO_RUNTIME
- Put the #ifdef around relevant comments
