[ Upstream commit 894ef530012fb5078466efdfb2c15d8b2f1565cd ]

Commit 866b6a89c6d1 ("MIPS: Add DWARF unwinding to assembly") added
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to KBUILD_CFLAGS to prevent compiler
from emitting .eh_frame symbols.
However, as MIPS heavily uses CFI, that's not enough. Use the
approach taken for x86 (as it also uses CFI) and explicitly put CFI
symbols into the .debug_frame section (except for VDSO).
This allows us to drop .eh_frame from DISCARDS as it's no longer
being generated.

<title>MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: add missing PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() section</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 8ac7c87acdcac156670f9920c8acbd84308ff4b1 upstream.

MIPS uses its own declaration of rwdata, and thus it should be kept
in sync with the asm-generic one. Currently PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() is
missing from the linker script, which emits the following ld
warnings:

mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section
`.data..page_aligned' from `arch/mips/kernel/vdso.o' being placed
in section `.data..page_aligned'
mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section
`.data..page_aligned' from `arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o' being placed
in section `.data..page_aligned'

Add the necessary declaration, so the mentioned structures will be
placed in vmlinux as intended:

ffffffff80630580 D __end_once
ffffffff80630580 D __start___dyndbg
ffffffff80630580 D __start_once

ffffffff8063c000 T __init_begin
ffffffff8063c000 D _edata

The .comment section doesn't belong in STABS_DEBUG. Split it out into a
new macro named ELF_DETAILS. This will gain other non-debug sections
that need to be accounted for when linking with --orphan-handling=warn.

<content type='text'>
LLD failed to link vmlinux with 64bit load address for 32bit ELF
while bfd will strip 64bit address into 32bit silently.
To fix LLD build, we should truncate load address provided by platform
into 32bit for 32bit kernel.

In preparation for moving NOTES into RO_DATA, provide a mechanism for
architectures that want to emit a PT_NOTE Program Header to do so.

<title>MIPS: Ensure ELF appended dtb is relocated</title>

This fixes booting with the combination of CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
and CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB=y.

Sections that appear after the relocation table are not relocated
on system boot (except .bss, which has special handling).

With CONFIG_MIPS_ELF_APPENDED_DTB, the dtb is part of the
vmlinux ELF, so it must be relocated together with everything else.

Select CONFIG_HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION for MIPS, allowing the
user to enable dead code elimination. In order for this to work, ensure
that we keep the data bus exception table &amp; the machine list by
annotating them with KEEP.

This shrinks both 32r2el_defconfig &amp; 64r6el_defconfig builds by ~6%, as
shown by numbers from scripts/bloat-o-meter:

          | 32r2el_defconfig | 64r6el_defconfig
  --------|------------------|------------------
   No DCE | 8919864          | 8286307
      DCE | 8338988 (-6.51%) | 7741808 (-6.57%)
