Although the powerpc linker script mentions .comment in the DISCARD
section, that has never actually caused it to be discarded, because the
earlier ELF_DETAILS macro (previously STABS_DEBUG) explicitly includes
.comment.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro. With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD directives later in
the script to be applied earlier, causing .comment to actually be
discarded.

It's confusing to explicitly include and discard .comment, and even more
so if the behaviour depends on the toolchain version. So don't discard
.comment in order to maintain the existing behaviour in all cases.

Relocatable kernels must not discard relocations, they need to be
processed at runtime. As such they are included for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
builds in the powerpc linker script (line 340).

However they are also unconditionally discarded later in the
script (line 414). Previously that worked because the earlier inclusion
superseded the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 137). With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier, causing .rela* to
actually be discarded at link time, leading to build warnings and a
kernel that doesn't boot:

  ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.init.rodata

Fix it by conditionally discarding .rela* only when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
is disabled.

The powerpc linker script explicitly includes .exit.text, because
otherwise the link fails due to references from __bug_table and
__ex_table. The code is freed (discarded) at runtime along with
.init.text and data.

That has worked in the past despite powerpc not defining
RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT because DISCARDS appears late in the powerpc linker
script (line 410), and the explicit inclusion of .exit.text
earlier (line 280) supersedes the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 136). With binutils < 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier [1], causing
.exit.text to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build
errors:

  '.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 '__ex_table' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o

Fix it by defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT, which causes the generic
DISCARDS macro to not include .exit.text at all.

.data.rel.ro*  catches .data.rel.root_cpuacct, and the kernel crashes on

No toolchain we support should be generating stabs debug information
anymore. Drop the sections entirely from our linker scripts.

is data that needs relocating but is read-only after that so these
can both be moved to the read only memory region.
