Nathan Chancellor ef4708ad00 efi/libstub: zboot.lds: Discard .discard sections
[ Upstream commit 5134acb15d ]

When building ARCH=loongarch defconfig + CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y using
LLVM, there is a warning from ld.lld when linking the EFI zboot image
due to the use of unreachable() in number() in vsprintf.c:

  ld.lld: warning: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a(vsprintf.stub.o):(.discard.unreachable+0x0): has non-ABS relocation R_LARCH_32_PCREL against symbol ''

If the compiler cannot eliminate the default case for any reason, the
.discard.unreachable section will remain in the final binary but the
entire point of any section prefixed with .discard is that it is only
used at compile time, so it can be discarded via /DISCARD/ in a linker
script. The asm-generic vmlinux.lds.h includes .discard and .discard.*
in the COMMON_DISCARDS macro but that is not used for zboot.lds, as it
is not a kernel image linker script.

Add .discard and .discard.* to /DISCARD/ in zboot.lds, so that any
sections meant to be discarded at link time are not included in the
final zboot image. This issue is not specific to LoongArch, it is just
the first architecture to select CONFIG_OBJTOOL, which defines
annotate_unreachable() as an asm statement to add the
.discard.unreachable section, and use the EFI stub.

README

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.
