[ Upstream commit bb43a59944f45e89aa158740b8a16ba8f0b0fa2b ]

Commit 7ccaba5314ca ("consolidate WARN_...ONCE() static variables")
was intended to collect all .data.unlikely sections into one chunk.
However, this has not worked when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION
or CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled, because .data.unlikely matches the
.data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the DATA_MAIN macro.

Commit cb87481ee89d ("kbuild: linker script do not match C names unless
LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is configured") was introduced to suppress
the issue for the default CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=n case,
providing a minimal fix for stable backporting. We were aware this did
not address the issue for CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y. The
plan was to apply correct fixes and then revert cb87481ee89d. [1]

Seven years have passed since then, yet the #ifdef workaround remains in
place.

Using a ".." separator in the section name fixes the issue for
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG.
