kexec: support purgatories with .text.hot sections
Patch series "kexec: Fix kexec_file_load for llvm16 with PGO", v7. When upreving llvm I realised that kexec stopped working on my test platform. The reason seems to be that due to PGO there are multiple .text sections on the purgatory, and kexec does not supports that. This patch (of 4): Clang16 links the purgatory text in two sections when PGO is in use: [ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00000040 00000000000011a1 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 16 [ 2] .rela.text RELA 0000000000000000 00003498 0000000000000648 0000000000000018 I 24 1 8 ... [17] .text.hot. PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00003220 000000000000020b 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 1 [18] .rela.text.hot.

This causes that image->start is calculated twice, once for .text and another time for .text.hot. The second calculation leaves image->start in a random location. Because of this, the system crashes immediately after: kexec_core: Starting new kernel Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230321-kexec_clang16-v7-0-b05c520b7296@chromium.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230321-kexec_clang16-v7-1-b05c520b7296@chromium.org Fixes: 930457057abe ("kernel/kexec_file.c: split up __kexec_load_puragory") Signed-off-by: Ricardo Ribalda <ribalda@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@google.com> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reviewed-by: Philipp Rudo <prudo@redhat.com> Cc: Albert Ou <aou@eecs.berkeley.edu> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.
