Currently .vmlinux.info section of uncompressed vmlinux elf image is
included into the data segment and load address specified as 0. That
extends data segment to address 0 and makes "text" and "data" segments
overlap.

Later when vmlinux.bin is produced from vmlinux, .vmlinux.info section
is removed. But elf vmlinux file, even though it is not bootable anymore,
used for debugging and loadable segments overlap should be avoided.
Utilize special ":NONE" phdr specification to avoid adding .vmlinux.info
into loadable data segment. Also set .vmlinux.info section type to INFO,
which allows to get a not-loadable info CONTENTS section.
Since minimal supported version of binutils 2.20 does not have
--dump-section objcopy option, make .vmlinux.info section loadable during
info.bin creation to get actual section contents.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
