Building a kernel via klp-build fails to link:
`__exitcall_aes_mod_exit' referenced in section `.klp.symid' of vmlinux.o: defined in discarded section `.exitcall.exit' of vmlinux.o
`__exitcall_dax_exit' referenced in section `.klp.symid' of vmlinux.o: defined in discarded section `.exitcall.exit' of vmlinux.o
`__exitcall_hid_exit' referenced in section `.klp.symid' of vmlinux.o: defined in discarded section `.exitcall.exit' of vmlinux.o
`__exitcall_usb_serial_module_exit' referenced in section `.klp.symid' of vmlinux.o: defined in discarded section `.exitcall.exit' of vmlinux.o
module_exit() on a built-in emits a static __exitcall_$fn pointer into
.exitcall.exit, which vmlinux.lds.h discards unconditionally via
EXIT_CALL. When two built-in translation units define a module_exit()
function of the same name, the resulting local symbols collide,
symid_needed() sees a duplicate and emits a .klp.symid entry for each,
referencing symbols the linker then throws away.
Same-named module_exit() functions are not rare:
dax_exit drivers/dax/device.c, drivers/dax/fsdev.c
hid_exit drivers/hid/hid-core.c, drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c
aes_mod_exit arch/arm64/crypto/aes-ce-ccm-glue.c, lib/crypto/aes.c
usb_serial_module_exit module_usb_serial_driver() expands to this fixed
name in each of its ~49 users
The last one makes the collision structural rather than accidental: any
kernel with two built-in USB serial drivers has it. This is not arch
specific either; it only requires the objects to be built in rather than
modular, which is why a monolithic config trips it while a typical
distro config does not.
Add .exitcall.exit to the discarded section list so its symbols don't get
symids.
This is the same failure mode as "objtool/klp: Fix vmlinux .klp.symid
link error for .no_trim_symbol symbols", for another unconditionally
discarded allocated section.
