From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d4c6399900364facd84c9e35ce1540b6046c345f upstream. With x86_64_defconfig and the following configs, there is an orphan section warning: CONFIG_SMP=n CONFIG_AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT=y CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST=y CONFIG_KVM=y CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y ld: warning: orphan section `.data..decrypted' from `arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.o' being placed in section `.data..decrypted' ld: warning: orphan section `.data..decrypted' from `arch/x86/kernel/kvm.o' being placed in section `.data..decrypted' These sections are created with DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED, which ultimately turns into __PCPU_ATTRS, which in turn has a section attribute with a value of PER_CPU_BASE_SECTION + the section name. When CONFIG_SMP is not set, the base section is .data and that is not currently handled in any linker script. Add .data..decrypted to PERCPU_DECRYPTED_SECTION, which is included in PERCPU_INPUT -> PERCPU_SECTION, which is include in the x86 linker script when either CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_SMP is unset, taking care of the warning.
