Dear all,

after upgrading my toolchain to gcc 13.2 and GNU assembler (GNU
Binutils) 2.41.0.20230926, compiling a 4.14 kernel fails

arch/arm/mm/proc-arm926.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/mm/proc-arm926.S:477: Error: junk at end of line, first
unrecognized character is `#'

The problem is that gas 2.41.0.20230926 does no longer support
Solaris style section attributes like
.section ".start", #alloc, #execinstr

Commit 790756c7e022 ("ARM: 8933/1: replace Sun/Solaris style flag on
section directive") fixed up the section attributes that used the legacy
syntax. It seems that this commit landed in 5.5 and has already been
backported to 5.4.

Should we backport this commit to 4.19 and 4.14 as well? If so, should I
submit patches that apply against the 4.19 and 4.14 trees or do you want
to resolve the conflicts when you queue up the patch?

I'll queue it up, thanks!
