On ELF, (NOLOAD) sets the section type to SHT_NOBITS[1]. It is conceptually
inappropriate for .plt, .got, and .got.plt sections which are always
SHT_PROGBITS.
In GNU ld, if PLT entries are needed, .plt will be SHT_PROGBITS anyway
and (NOLOAD) will be essentially ignored. In ld.lld, since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D118840 ("[ELF] Support (TYPE=<value>) to
customize the output section type"), ld.lld will report a `section type
mismatch` error. Just remove (NOLOAD) to fix the error.
[1] https://lld.llvm.org/ELF/linker_script.html As of today, "The
section should be marked as not loadable" on
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Type.html is
outdated for ELF.

Thank you for the patch! As mentioned on the arm64 patch, this needs
your Signed-off-by tag. With that provided:
Cc: [email protected]
Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <[email protected]>
Tested-by: Nathan Chancellor <[email protected]>
This needs to go to stable so that older trees with a newer toolchain do
not warn.

Yep, just checking on that SOB line. A
Fixes: 596b0474d3d9 ("kbuild: preprocess module linker script")
seems appropriate as well.

On ELF, (NOLOAD) sets the section type to SHT_NOBITS[1]. It is conceptually
inappropriate for .plt, .got, and .got.plt sections which are always
SHT_PROGBITS.
In GNU ld, if PLT entries are needed, .plt will be SHT_PROGBITS anyway
and (NOLOAD) will be essentially ignored. In ld.lld, since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D118840 ("[ELF] Support (TYPE=<value>) to
customize the output section type"), ld.lld will report a `section type
mismatch` error (later changed to a warning). Just remove (NOLOAD) to
fix the warning.

Thank you for the resend! I think the Fixes: tag you chose is more
accurate than Palmer's suggested one. Same tags as v1, if Palmer would
not mind taking them while applying:

Thanks, this is on for-next (it'd be OK for fixes as well, but it's the
merge window so I'm just on one branch).
