Nathan Chancellor 859716b413 arm64: vdso32: Shuffle .ARM.exidx section above ELF_DETAILS
When building the 32-bit vDSO after commit 5c4fb60816 ("arm64: vdso32:
add ARM.exidx* sections"), ld.lld 11 fails to link:

  ld.lld: error: could not allocate headers
  ld.lld: error: unable to place section .text at file offset [0x2A0, 0xBB1]; check your linker script for overflows
  ld.lld: error: unable to place section .comment at file offset [0xBB2, 0xC8A]; check your linker script for overflows
  ld.lld: error: unable to place section .symtab at file offset [0xC8C, 0xE0B]; check your linker script for overflows
  ld.lld: error: unable to place section .strtab at file offset [0xE0C, 0xF1C]; check your linker script for overflows
  ld.lld: error: unable to place section .shstrtab at file offset [0xF1D, 0xFAA]; check your linker script for overflows
  ld.lld: error: section .ARM.exidx file range overlaps with .hash
  >>> .ARM.exidx range is [0x90, 0xCF]
  >>> .hash range is [0xB4, 0xE3]

  ld.lld: error: section .hash file range overlaps with .ARM.attributes
  >>> .hash range is [0xB4, 0xE3]
  >>> .ARM.attributes range is [0xD0, 0x10B]

  ld.lld: error: section .ARM.attributes file range overlaps with .dynsym
  >>> .ARM.attributes range is [0xD0, 0x10B]
  >>> .dynsym range is [0xE4, 0x133]

  ld.lld: error: section .ARM.exidx virtual address range overlaps with .hash
  >>> .ARM.exidx range is [0x90, 0xCF]
  >>> .hash range is [0xB4, 0xE3]

  ld.lld: error: section .ARM.exidx load address range overlaps with .hash
  >>> .ARM.exidx range is [0x90, 0xCF]
  >>> .hash range is [0xB4, 0xE3]

This was fixed in ld.lld 12 with a change to match GNU ld's semantics of
placing non-SHF_ALLOC sections after SHF_ALLOC sections.

To workaround this issue, move the .ARM.exidx section before the
.comment, .symtab, .strtab, and .shstrtab sections (ELF_DETAILS) so that
those sections remain contiguous with the .ARM.attributes section.

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.
