Arvind Sankar 2e7a858ba8 x86/boot: Add .text.* to setup.ld
GCC puts the main function into .text.startup when compiled with -Os (or
-O2). This results in arch/x86/boot/main.c having a .text.startup
section which is currently not included explicitly in the linker script
setup.ld in the same directory.

The BFD linker places this orphan section immediately after .text, so
this still works. However, LLD git, since [1], is choosing to place it
immediately after the .bstext section instead (this is the first code
section). This plays havoc with the section layout that setup.elf
requires to create the setup header, for eg on 64-bit:

    LD      arch/x86/boot/setup.elf
  ld.lld: error: section .text.startup file range overlaps with .header
  >>> .text.startup range is [0x200040, 0x2001FE]
  >>> .header range is [0x2001EF, 0x20026B]

  ld.lld: error: section .header file range overlaps with .bsdata
  >>> .header range is [0x2001EF, 0x20026B]
  >>> .bsdata range is [0x2001FF, 0x200398]

  ld.lld: error: section .bsdata file range overlaps with .entrytext
  >>> .bsdata range is [0x2001FF, 0x200398]
  >>> .entrytext range is [0x20026C, 0x2002D3]

  ld.lld: error: section .text.startup virtual address range overlaps
  with .header
  >>> .text.startup range is [0x40, 0x1FE]
  >>> .header range is [0x1EF, 0x26B]

  ld.lld: error: section .header virtual address range overlaps with
  .bsdata
  >>> .header range is [0x1EF, 0x26B]
  >>> .bsdata range is [0x1FF, 0x398]

  ld.lld: error: section .bsdata virtual address range overlaps with
  .entrytext
  >>> .bsdata range is [0x1FF, 0x398]
  >>> .entrytext range is [0x26C, 0x2D3]

  ld.lld: error: section .text.startup load address range overlaps with
  .header
  >>> .text.startup range is [0x40, 0x1FE]
  >>> .header range is [0x1EF, 0x26B]

  ld.lld: error: section .header load address range overlaps with
  .bsdata
  >>> .header range is [0x1EF, 0x26B]
  >>> .bsdata range is [0x1FF, 0x398]

  ld.lld: error: section .bsdata load address range overlaps with
  .entrytext
  >>> .bsdata range is [0x1FF, 0x398]
  >>> .entrytext range is [0x26C, 0x2D3]

Add .text.* to the .text output section to fix this, and also prevent
any future surprises if the compiler decides to create other such
sections.

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.
