    Subject[PATCH 5.15 857/913] riscv module: remove (NOLOAD)
    Date
    From: Fangrui Song <maskray@google.com>

    commit 60210a3d86dc57ce4a76a366e7841dda746a33f7 upstream.

    On ELF, (NOLOAD) sets the section type to SHT_NOBITS[1]. It is conceptually
    inappropriate for .plt, .got, and .got.plt sections which are always
    SHT_PROGBITS.

    In GNU ld, if PLT entries are needed, .plt will be SHT_PROGBITS anyway
    and (NOLOAD) will be essentially ignored. In ld.lld, since
    https://reviews.llvm.org/D118840 ("[ELF] Support (TYPE=<value>) to
    customize the output section type"), ld.lld will report a `section type
    mismatch` error (later changed to a warning). Just remove (NOLOAD) to
    fix the warning.

    [1] https://lld.llvm.org/ELF/linker_script.html As of today, "The
    section should be marked as not loadable" on
    https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Type.html is
    outdated for ELF.

    Fixes: ab1ef68e5401 ("RISC-V: Add sections of PLT and GOT for kernel module")
