When compiling with DEBUG=1 on Fedora 32 I'm getting crash for 'perf
test signal':
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000c68548 in __test_function ()

It's caused by the symbol __test_function being in the ".bss" section:
$ readelf -a ./perf | less
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
...
[28] .bss NOBITS 0000000000c356a0 008346a0
00000000000511f8 0000000000000000 WA 0 0 32
$ nm perf | grep __test_function
0000000000c68548 B __test_function
I guess most of the time we're just lucky the inline asm ended up in the
".text" section, so making it specific explicit with push and pop
section clauses.
$ readelf -a ./perf | less
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
...
[13] .text PROGBITS 0000000000431240 00031240

$ nm perf | grep __test_function
00000000004d62c8 T __test_function
Committer testing:
$ readelf -wi ~/bin/perf | grep producer -m1

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.
