From: Nick Desaulniers Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2020 23:48:01 +0000 (-0700) Subject: export.h: fix section name for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS for Clang X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4d6fb34acb5d0bfc579ccd29df9cc6f653e51ab2;p=linux.git export.h: fix section name for CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS for Clang When enabling CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, the linker will warn about the orphan sections: (".discard.ksym") is being placed in '".discard.ksym"' repeatedly when linking vmlinux. This is because the stringification operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings. GCC and Clang differ in how they treat section names that contain \". The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor stringification operator.
