Josh Poimboeuf f6a8919d61 vmlinux.lds: Fix TEXT_MAIN to include .text.start and friends Since: `6568f14cb5` ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN") the TEXT_MAIN macro uses a series of patterns to prevent the .text.startup[.] and .text.exit[.] sections from getting linked into the vmlinux runtime .text. That commit is a tad too aggressive: it also inadvertently filters out valid runtime text sections like .text.start and .text.start.constprop.0, which can be generated for a function named start() when -ffunction-sections is enabled. As a result, those sections become orphans when building with CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for arm: arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/usb/host/sl811-hcd.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxk_hard.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start' from `drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0910.o' being placed in section `.text.start' arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `.text.start.constprop.0' from `drivers/media/pci/ddbridge/ddbridge-sx8.o' being placed in section `.text.start.constprop.0' Fix that by explicitly adding the partial "substring" sections (.text.s, .text.st, .text.sta, etc) and their cloned derivatives. While this unfortunately means that TEXT_MAIN continues to grow, these changes are ultimately necessary for proper support of -ffunction-sections.

README

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 reStructuredText 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.
