This series hunts the problems discovered after manual enabling of ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN. Notably: - adds the missing PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() section affecting VDSO placement (marked for stable); - stops blind catching of orphan text sections with .text.* directive; - properly stops .eh_frame section generation.
Compile and runtime tested on MIPS32R2 CPS board with no issues using two different toolkits: - Binutils 2.35.1, GCC 10.2.1 (with Alpine patches); - LLVM stack: 11.0.0 and from latest Git snapshot. Since v4 [3]: - new: drop redundant .text.cps-vec creation and blind inclusion of orphan text sections via .text.* directive in vmlinux.lds.S; - don't assert SIZEOF(.rel.dyn) as it's reported that it may be not empty on certain machines and compilers (Thomas); - align GOT table like it's done for ARM64; - new: catch UBSAN's "unnamed data" sections in generic definitions when building with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION; - collect Reviewed-bys (Kees, Nathan). Since v3 [2]: - fix the third patch as GNU stack emits .rel.dyn into VDSO for some reason if .cfi_sections is specified. Since v2 [1]: - stop discarding .eh_frame and just prevent it from generating (Kees); - drop redundant sections assertions (Fangrui); - place GOT table in .text instead of asserting as it's not empty when building with LLVM (Nathan); - catch compound literals in generic definitions when building with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION (Kees); - collect two Reviewed-bys (Kees). Since v1 [0]: - catch .got entries too as LLD may produce it (Nathan); - check for unwanted sections to be zero-sized instead of discarding (Fangrui).
