Commit2f465b921b("vmlinux.lds.h: place optional header space in BOUNDED_SECTION") added BOUNDED_SECTION_(PRE|POST)_LABEL macros, encapsulating the basic boilerplate to KEEP/pack records into a section, and to mark the begin and end of the section with linker-symbols. But it tried to do extra, adding KEEP(*(.gnu.linkonce.##_sec_)) to optionally reserve a header record in front of the data. It wrongly placed the KEEP after the linker-symbol starting the section, so if a header was added, it would wind up in the data. Moving the KEEP to the "correct" place proved brittle, and too clever by half. The obvious safe fix is to remove the KEEP and restore the plain old boilerplate. The header can be added later, with separate macros. Also, the macro var-names: _s_, _e_ are nearly invisible, change them to more obvious names: _BEGIN_, _END_ Fixes:2f465b921b("vmlinux.lds.h: place optional header space in BOUNDED_SECTION") Signed-off-by: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221117171633.923628-2-jim.cromie@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
