Commit eff8728fe698 ("vmlinux.lds.h: Add PGO and AutoFDO input
sections") added ".text.unlikely.*" and ".text.hot.*" due to an LLVM
change [1].
After another LLVM change [2], these sections are seen in some PowerPC
builds, where there is a orphan section warning then build failure:
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" \
ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- LLVM=1 O=out \
distclean powernv_defconfig zImage.epapr
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(panic.o):(.text.unlikely.) is being placed in '.text.unlikely.'
...
ld.lld: warning: address (0xc000000000009314) of section .text is not a multiple of alignment (256)
...
ERROR: start_text address is c000000000009400, should be c000000000008000
ERROR: try to enable LD_HEAD_STUB_CATCH config option
ERROR: see comments in arch/powerpc/tools/head_check.sh
...
Explicitly handle these sections like in the main linker script so
there is no more build failure.

Looks like you forgot to add your references/links to [1] and [2].
Indeed, thank you for pointing that out! v2 coming shortly.
Might be good to mention...?
With CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN=y is enabled
Since this symbol is not user selectable, I do not really think it is
worth mentioning, plus PowerPC has had this enabled for a while :)
Cheers,
Nathan

Very late of course, and the patch is fine, but:

Is the section really called ".text.unlikely.", i.e. the name ending in
a dot? How very unusual, is there some bug elsewhere?
