Hi,
I wonder, why this is needed in stable and not mainline?
Isn't this a different (non-upstream) dup of
951ddecf4356 objtool: Treat .text.__x86.* as noinstr
? (That is included in this release too.)

The .discard.text section is added in order to reserve BRK, with a
temporary function just so it can give it a size. This adds a relocation to
the return thunk, which objtool will add to the .return_sites section.
Linking will then fail as there are references to the .discard.text
section.
Do not add instructions from non-text sections to the list of return thunk
calls, avoiding the reference to .discard.text.
