Tom Saeger 87fcce7a6f sh: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT
commit c1c551bebf928889e7a8fef7415b44f9a64975f4 upstream.

sh vmlinux fails to link with GNU ld < 2.40 (likely < 2.36) since
commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv").

This is similar to fixes for powerpc and s390:
commit 4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT").
commit a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error
with GNU ld < 2.36").

  $ sh4-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1
  GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2

  $ make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu- microdev_defconfig
  $ make ARCH=sh CROSS_COMPILE=sh4-linux-gnu-

  `.exit.text' referenced in section `__bug_table' of crypto/algboss.o:
  defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of crypto/algboss.o
  `.exit.text' referenced in section `__bug_table' of
  drivers/char/hw_random/core.o: defined in discarded section
  `.exit.text' of drivers/char/hw_random/core.o
  make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
  make[1]: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2

arch/sh/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S keeps EXIT_TEXT:

	/*
	 * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time, to deal with
	 * references from __bug_table
	 */
	.exit.text : AT(ADDR(.exit.text)) { EXIT_TEXT }

However, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by
DISCARD(include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h) because
sh does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

GNU ld 2.40 does not have this issue and builds fine.
This corresponds with Masahiro's comments in a494398bde27:
"Nathan [Chancellor] also found that binutils
commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output sections in scripts") cured this
issue, so we cannot reproduce it with binutils 2.36+, but it is better
to not rely on it."

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.
