    powerpc/vdso: Remove unused ENTRY in linker scripts · e2471728
    Nathan Chancellor authored
    When linking vdso{32,64}.so.dbg with ld.lld, there is a warning about
    not finding _start for the starting address:
    
      ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
      ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
    
    Looking at GCC + GNU ld, the entry point address is 0x0:
    
      $ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
      File: vdso32.so.dbg
        Entry point address:               0x0
      File: vdso64.so.dbg
        Entry point address:               0x0
    
    This matches what ld.lld emits:
    
      $ powerpc64le-linux-gnu-readelf -p .comment vdso{32,64}.so.dbg
    
      File: vdso32.so.dbg
    
      String dump of section '.comment':
        [     0]  Linker: LLD 14.0.0
        [    14]  clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)
    
      File: vdso64.so.dbg
    
      String dump of section '.comment':
        [     0]  Linker: LLD 14.0.0
        [    14]  clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)
    
      $ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
      File: vdso32.so.dbg
        Entry point address:               0x0
      File: vdso64.so.dbg
        Entry point address:               0x0
    
    Remove ENTRY to remove the warning, as it is unnecessary for the vDSO to
    function correctly.
