Subject: xtensa: fix linker script transformation for .text.unlikely
From: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@xxxxxxxxx>
commit f6a03a12ecdbe0dd80a55f6df3b7206c5a403a49 upstream.
Now that binutils generate *.unlikely sections which don't follow
documented (info as) literal section naming rules, section name
transformation script doesn't work well resulting in the following
errors at vmlinux link time:
main.c:(.text.unlikely+0x3): dangerous relocation: l32r: literal
placed after use: .literal.unlikely
Fix section name transformation script by adding specific rule for
.text.unlikely sections.
