[ Upstream commit bb43a59944f45e89aa158740b8a16ba8f0b0fa2b ] Commit7ccaba5314("consolidate WARN_...ONCE() static variables") was intended to collect all .data.unlikely sections into one chunk. However, this has not worked when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION or CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.unlikely matches the .data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro. Commitcb87481ee8("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case, providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The plan was to apply correct fixes and then revertcb87481ee8. [1] Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in place. Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

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 Restructured Text 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.
