Masahiro Yamada cc7d10339d Rename .data.unlikely to .data..unlikely 
[ Upstream commit bb43a59944 ]

Commit 7ccaba5314 ("consolidate WARN_...ONCE() static variables")
was intended to collect all .data.unlikely sections into one chunk.
However, this has not worked when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
or CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.unlikely matches the
.data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro.

Commit cb87481ee8 ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless
LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress
the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case,
providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did
not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The
plan was to apply correct fixes and then revert cb87481ee8. [1]

Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in
place.

Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.

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 reStructuredText 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.
