LKP triggered lots of LD orphan warnings [0]:

Thanks for the patch, just some questions.

With which linker?  Was there a particular config from the bot's
report that triggered this?

All the info can be found by going through the link from the commit
message. Compiler was GCC 9.3, so I suppose BFD was used as a linker.
I mentioned CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y in the attached
dotconfig, the warnings and the fix are relevant only for this case.

Seems like "unnamed data" isn't the only type of symbols that UBSAN
instrumentation can emit.
Catch these into .data with the wildcard as well.

Are these sections only created when

.data.$__unnamed_*)
