# vmlinux is linked from the objects selected by $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_OBJS) and
# $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS). Most are built-in.a files from top-level directories
# in the kernel tree, others are specified in arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile.
# $(KBUILD_VMLINUX_LIBS) are archives which are linked conditionally
# (not within --whole-archive), and do not require symbol indexes added.
