<content type='text'>
commit 36168e387fa7d0f1fe0cd5cf76c8cea7aee714fa upstream.

ld.lld does not support the NOCROSSREFS directive at the moment, which
breaks the build after commit b9baf5c8c5c3 ("ARM: Spectre-BHB
workaround"):

  ld.lld: error: ./arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds:34: AT expected, but got NOCROSSREFS

Support for this directive will eventually be implemented, at which
point a version check can be added. To avoid breaking the build in the
meantime, just define NOCROSSREFS to nothing when using ld.lld, with a
link to the issue for tracking.

commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.

Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.

commit 8d9d651ff2270a632e9dc497b142db31e8911315 upstream.

Use the linker's LOADADDR() macro to get the load address of the
sections, and provide a macro to set the start and end symbols.

<title>vmlinux.lds.h: Fix incomplete .text.exit discards</title>

Enabling CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y causes linker errors on ARM:

  `.text.exit' referenced in section `.ARM.exidx.text.exit':
  defined in discarded section `.text.exit'

  `.text.exit' referenced in section `.fini_array.00100':
  defined in discarded section `.text.exit'

And related errors on NDS32:

  `.text.exit' referenced in section `.dtors.65435':
  defined in discarded section `.text.exit'

The gcov compiler flags cause certain compiler versions to generate
additional destructor-related sections that are not yet handled by the
linker script, resulting in references between discarded and
non-discarded sections.

Since destructors are not used in the Linux kernel, fix this by
discarding these additional sections.

VMLINUX_SYMBOL() is no-op unless CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX

VMLINUX_SYMBOL() is unneeded for ARM-specific code.

Let's put the TCM stuff in the __init section directly. No need for
a separately freed memory area.

Remove redundant linker sections, as well as comments that were more
confusing than no comments at all. Finally make it XIP compatible by
using LOAD_OFFSET in the section LMA specification.

This is a plain move with identical results, and therefore
still broken in the XIP case.
