[PATCH v3 mips-next 6/7] vmlinux.lds.h: catch compound literals into data and BSS

From: Alexander Lobakin <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-07 11:55:41
Also in: linux-mips, lkml, stable
Subsystem: generic include/asm header files, the rest · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Linus Torvalds

When building kernel with LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, LLVM stack
generates separate sections for compound literals, just like in case
with enabled LTO [0]:

ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o):
(.data..compoundliteral.14) is being placed in
'.data..compoundliteral.14'
ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o):
(.data..compoundliteral.15) is being placed in
'.data..compoundliteral.15'
ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o):
(.data..compoundliteral.16) is being placed in
'.data..compoundliteral.16'
ld.lld: warning: drivers/built-in.a(mtd/nand/spi/gigadevice.o):
(.data..compoundliteral.17) is being placed in
'.data..compoundliteral.17'

[...]

Handle this by adding the related sections to generic definitions
as suggested by Sami [0].
