vmlinux.lds.h: Fix linker warnings about orphan .LPBX sections
[ Upstream commit 52c8ee5bad8f33d02c567f6609f43d69303fc48d ]
Enabling both CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y and
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y results in linker warnings:
warning: orphan section `.data..LPBX1' being placed in
section `.data..LPBX1'.
LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION adds compiler flag -fdata-sections. This
option causes GCC to create separate data sections for data objects,
including those generated by GCC internally for gcov profiling. The
names of these objects start with a dot (.LPBX0, .LPBX1), resulting in
section names starting with 'data..'.
As section names starting with 'data..' are used for specific purposes
in the Linux kernel, the linker script does not automatically include
them in the output data section, resulting in the "orphan section"
linker warnings.
Fix this by specifically including sections named "data..LPBX*" in the
data section.
