A recent LLVM commit [1] started generating an .ARM.attributes section similar to the one that exists for 32-bit, which results in orphan section warnings (or errors if CONFIG_WERROR is enabled) from the linker because it is not handled in the arm64 linker scripts. ld.lld: error: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o:(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgetrandom.o:(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/vsprintf.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/win_minmax.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/xarray.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' Add this new section to the necessary linker scripts to resolve the warnings.
