Rudraksha Gupta 977c4308ee rust: arm: fix unknown (to Clang) argument '-mno-fdpic'
Currently rust on arm fails to compile due to '-mno-fdpic'. This flag
disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds, so let's
skip it as it doesn't apply to Clang.

[ Naresh provided the draft diff [1].

  Ben explained [2]:

    FDPIC is only relevant with no-MMU targets, and then only for userspace.
    When configured for the arm-*-uclinuxfdpiceabi target, GCC enables FDPIC
    by default to facilitate compiling userspace programs. FDPIC is never
    used for the kernel, and we pass -mno-fdpic when building the kernel to
    override the default and make sure FDPIC is disabled.

  and [3]:

    -mno-fdpic disables a GCC feature that we don't want for kernel builds.
    clang does not support this feature, so it always behaves as though
    -mno-fdpic is passed. Therefore, it should be fine to mix the two, at
    least as far as FDPIC is concerned.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
