[PATCH 05/14] arm64: Fix EFI linking with -fdata-sections

From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-03-05 03:31:49
Also in: live-patching, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

When building with func-fdata-sections, the .init.bss section gets split
up into a bunch of .init.bss.<var> sections.  Make sure they get linked
into .init.data.
