From: Miguel Ojeda
Date: Wed Sep 04 2019 - 14:18:27 EST


Hi Linus,

I was going to send this for 5.4 since it is not that trivial, but since
you are doing an -rc8, and it fixes an oops, please consider pulling it.

Cheers,
Miguel

compiler_attributes.h: add note about __section (2019-08-30 00:56:19 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
__section cleanup that also fixes an Oops (Nick Desaulniers)

GCC unescapes escaped string section names while Clang does not. Because
__section uses the `#` stringification operator for the section name, it
doesn't need to be escaped.

This fixes an Oops observed in distro's that use systemd and not
net.core.bpf_jit_enable=1, when their kernels are compiled with Clang.
