[PATCH 0/2] Use dot prefixes for section names

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Pre-existing code uses a dot prefix or double underscore to prefix ELF
section names. strip_relocs on x86 relies on this, and other out of tree
tools that mangle vmlinux (kexec or live patching) may rely on this as
well.

So let's not deviate from this and use a dot prefix for runtime-const
and alloc_tags sections.
