That section gets generated from unreachable() annotations when CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION is enabled. .discard.unreachable contains an R_X86_64_PC32 relocation which will be warned about by LLD: a non-SHF_ALLOC section (.discard.unreachable) is not part of the memory image, thus conceptually the distance between a non-SHF_ALLOC and a SHF_ALLOC is not a constant which can be resolved at link time: % ld.lld -m elf_x86_64 -T arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds ... -o arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux ld.lld: warning: vsprintf.c:(.discard.unreachable+0x0): has non-ABS relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol '' Reuse the DISCARDS macro which includes .discard.* to drop .discard.unreachable.
