Yep, I remember bugs from this.  Probably should scan the kernel for
other instances of this.  +Joe for checkpatch.pl validation.

$ git grep -P -n '__section\s*\(\s*\"'
arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c:45:u64 __section(".mmuoff.data.write") vabits_actual;
include/linux/compiler.h:211:   __section("___kentry" "+" #sym )                        \
include/linux/export.h:133:     static int __ksym_marker_##sym[0] __section(".discard.ksym") __used
include/linux/srcutree.h:127:           __section("___srcu_struct_ptrs") = &name

My recollection is I submitted a patch
to _add_ quotes

I think the others are safe because they're in macros:

$ git grep -4 '__section("'
include/linux/compiler.h-# define KENTRY(sym)                                           \
include/linux/compiler.h-       extern typeof(sym) sym;                                 \
include/linux/compiler.h-       static const unsigned long __kentry_##sym               \
include/linux/compiler.h-       __used                                                  \
include/linux/compiler.h:       __section("___kentry" "+" #sym )                        \

Hey, yeah!  Did you end up sending v2?

Why does that make it safe -- the commit msg is a bit sparse, but I
assume the problem is that it generates
	__attribute__((__section__("\".foo\"")))
from
	__section(".foo")
after preprocessing, and clang keeps the quotes in the section name when
generating assembly, while gcc appears to strip them off.

It does that even if nested in another macro, no?

Am I missing something, or is KENTRY unused in the tree?

Yep, I can see things like:
[25] ".discard.ksym"   PROGBITS         0000000000000000  0000217c
       0000000000000000  0000000000000000  WA       0     0     4

Doesn't seem to cause a build error, but that can't be good.
