Commit be7635e7287e ("arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries
into separate sections") added a new linker section, SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT,
to the linker scripts for most architectures. It didn't add it to any of
the linker scripts for the m68k architecture. This was not really a problem
because it is only defined if either of CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER or
CONFIG_KASAN are enabled - which can never be true for m68k.
However commit 229a71860547 ("irq: Make the irqentry text section
unconditional") means that SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT is now always defined. So on
m68k we now end up with a separate ELF section for .softirqentry.text
instead of it being part of the .text section. On some m68k targets in some
Nice catch!
+10 other architectures also don't have the section.
configurations this can also cause a fatal link error:
LD vmlinux
/usr/local/bin/../m68k-uclinux/bin/ld.real: section .softirqentry.text loaded at [0000000010de10c0,0000000010de12dd] overlaps section .rodata loaded at [0000000010de10c0,0000000010e0fd67]
How does it cause the overlap?
The 68VZ328 uCdimm target has an unusual layout and normally it is built
as an "in-rom" image. Using objdump to dump the headers for a 4.13 build
gives this type of layout:

The 4.14 link tries to put the .softirqentry.text section strait after
the .text section. But that has already been calculated as the offset
for the .rodata. Notice that the start address (000000010de10c0) is
identical in the error message.
For me, "readelf -S vmlinux" gives:
There are 21 section headers, starting at offset 0x524850:

O (extra OS processing required) o (OS specific), p (processor specific)
For most of our other no-MMU links we end up with something similar and
that works ok for direct loads into RAM.

To fix add in the missing SOFTIRQENTRY_TEXT section into the m68k linker
scripts. I noticed that m68k is also missing the IRQENTRY_TEXT section,
so this patch also adds an entry for that too.
