Currently, when linking with ld.lld, this warning pops up:
arch/mips/vdso/Makefile:70: MIPS VDSO requires binutils >= 2.25
CONFIG_LD_VERSION is set with scripts/ld-version.sh, which is specific
to GNU ld. It returns 0 for ld.lld so CONFIG_MIPS_LD_CAN_LINK_VDSO does
not set.
ld.lld has a completely different versioning scheme (as it follows
LLVM's versioning) and it does not have the issue mentioned in the
comment block so it should be allowed to link the VDSO.
With this patch, the VDSO successfully links and shows P_MIPS_PC32 in
vgettimeofday.o.
$ llvm-objdump -Dr arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.o | grep R_MIPS_PC32

After commit 9553d16fa6 ("init/kconfig: Add LD_VERSION Kconfig"), we
have access to GNU ld's version at configuration time. As a result, we
can make it clearer under what configuration circumstances the MIPS VDSO
needs to be disabled.
This is a prerequisite for getting rid of the MIPS VDSO binutils
warning and linking the VDSO when LD is ld.lld. Wrapping the call to
ld-ifversion with CONFIG_LD_IS_LLD does not work because the config
values are wiped away during 'make clean'.
