Subject: hexagon: vmlinux.lds.S: handle attributes section
From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 549aa9678a0b3981d4821bf244579d9937650562 upstream.
After the linked LLVM change, the build fails with
CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN_LEVEL="error", which happens with allmodconfig:
ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(init/main.o):(.hexagon.attributes) is being placed in '.hexagon.attributes'
Handle the attributes section in a similar manner as arm and riscv by
adding it after the primary ELF_DETAILS grouping in vmlinux.lds.S, which
fixes the error.
