I think the others are safe because they're in macros:
$ git grep -4 '__section("'
include/linux/compiler.h-# define KENTRY(sym)
\
include/linux/compiler.h- extern typeof(sym) sym;
\
include/linux/compiler.h- static const unsigned long __kentry_##sym
\
include/linux/compiler.h- __used
\
include/linux/compiler.h: __section("___kentry" "+" #sym )
\
include/linux/compiler.h- = (unsigned long)&sym;
--
include/linux/export.h-#define __ksym_marker(sym) \
include/linux/export.h: static int __ksym_marker_##sym[0]
__section(".discard.ksym") __used
--
include/linux/srcutree.h-# define __DEFINE_SRCU(name, is_static)
\
include/linux/srcutree.h- is_static struct srcu_struct name;
\
include/linux/srcutree.h- struct srcu_struct * const __srcu_struct_##name
\
include/linux/srcutree.h: __section("___srcu_struct_ptrs") = &name
