Nick Desaulniers 48486511bb elfnote: mark all .note sections SHF_ALLOC
[ Upstream commit 51da9dfb7f20911ae4e79e9b412a9c2d4c373d4b ]

ELFNOTE_START allows callers to specify flags for .pushsection assembler
directives.  All callsites but ELF_NOTE use "a" for SHF_ALLOC.  For vdso's
that explicitly use ELF_NOTE_START and BUILD_SALT, the same section is
specified twice after preprocessing, once with "a" flag, once without.
Example:

.pushsection .note.Linux, "a", @note ;
.pushsection .note.Linux, "", @note ;

While GNU as allows this ordering, it warns for the opposite ordering,
making these directives position dependent.  We'd prefer not to precisely
match this behavior in Clang's integrated assembler.  Instead, the non
__ASSEMBLY__ definition of ELF_NOTE uses
__attribute__((section(".note.Linux"))) which is created with SHF_ALLOC,
so let's make the __ASSEMBLY__ definition of ELF_NOTE consistent with C
and just always use "a" flag.

This allows Clang to assemble a working mainline (5.6) kernel via:
$ make CC=clang AS=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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
