drivers/xen/xenbus: Fix namespace collision and split() section placement with AutoFDO
When compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections enabled, the split() function gets compiled into the .text.split section. In some cases it can even be cloned into .text.split.constprop.0 or .text.split.isra.0. However, .text.split.* is already reserved for use by the Clang -fsplit-machine-functions flag, which is used by AutoFDO. That may place part of a function's code in a .text.split.<func> section. This naming conflict causes the vmlinux linker script to wrongly place split() with other .text.split.* code, rather than where it belongs with regular text. Fix it by renaming split() to split_strings(). Fixes: 6568f14cb5ae ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN") Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: live-patching@vger.kernel.org Cc: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/92a194234a0f757765e275b288bb1a7236c2c35c.1762991150.git.jpoimboe@kernel.org
