    MIPS: vmlinux: discard .MIPS.abiflags · 61379878

    Discard .MIPS.abiflags from vmlinux. It's not needed and will cause
    issues e.g. with old OCTEON bootloaders that cannot tolerate
    additional program headers.
    
    Before the patch:
    
    $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux
    
    Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
    Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0
    There are 3 program headers, starting at offset 64
    
    Program Headers:
      Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                     FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
      ABIFLAGS       0x00000000005e77f0 0xffffffff816e67f0 0xffffffff816e67f0
                     0x0000000000000018 0x0000000000000018  R      8
      LOAD           0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000
                     0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360  RWE    1000
      NOTE           0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0
                     0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024  R      4
    
    After the patch:
    
    $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux
    
    Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
    Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0
    There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 64
    
    Program Headers:
      Type           Offset             VirtAddr           PhysAddr
                     FileSiz            MemSiz              Flags  Align
      LOAD           0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000
                     0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360  RWE    1000
      NOTE           0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0
                     0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024  R      4
