lkp reported a build error, I tried the config and can reproduce
build error as below:
VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
ld.lld: error: section .note file range overlaps with .text
>>> .note range is [0x7C8, 0x803]
>>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993]
ld.lld: error: section .text file range overlaps with .dynamic
>>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993]
>>> .dynamic range is [0x808, 0x937]
ld.lld: error: section .note virtual address range overlaps with .text
>>> .note range is [0x7C8, 0x803]
>>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993]
Fix it by removing the hardcoding 0x800 and related comments.

Hi Jisheng,
Removing this hard coded value is a good thing, but I don't understand
why, if it was necessary before, that it's no longer necessary. Can you
please explain that in the commit message? If the linker improved in
this regard, then do we need to document a new minimum linker version?

Aligning text to a 4-byte boundary makes sense to me, but I don't
understand the 16-byte boundary requirement. Can you please explain
this for my education?
Thanks,
drew

To be honest, I dunno. The hardcoded 0x800 was there from day1, maybe
Palmer knew the details.

Aha, I think align text to 4byte is fine. In my old memories, I was
told to align function entry at 16byte boundary, I'm not sure this
is still true.
PS: I just sent out v2 of this fix. The fix method is different and
think v2 is the correct fix while this v1 is an improvement.
