Orphan section warnings from `.text.asan.module_{c,d}tor`

[nathanchance]

After llvm/llvm-project@7b78956, enabling at least CONFIG_KASAN results in tons of orphan section warnings:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 distclean defconfig

$ scripts/config -e KASAN

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 olddefconfig all
...

...

Should these sections be kept or should we discard them? It seems that according to the commit message, prior to this commit, they were not being kept? If we should keep them, should they just go in TEXT_TEXT within include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h?

clang -fsanitize=kernel-address emits a no-op function asan.module_ctor. Its text section can just be discarded.

Hmm: I haven't tested why it did not warn previously. Does a kernel tool previously somehow discard .text.asan.module_ctor?

The only clang difference is that the section has the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag now.

.text.asan nor module_ctor are referenced in any of the lds files (tested with fd -e lds.h -e lds.S . -x rg -Hn 'asan|module_ctor') so it seems like it has never been handled, which means we should have seen a warning from ld.lld prior to this if the section was there, no? If it is not needed, we can just discard it and I can send a patch for that tomorrow.

This is what I have tentatively come up with, I will add a comment that references the LLVM commit once I understand everything. -fsanitize=thread (used with CONFIG_KCSAN) produces .text.tsan.module_ctor sections, are these safe to discard as well?

For what it's worth, I ran llvm-readelf --sections init/main.o before and after that LLVM commit, which produces:

Key to Flags:
  W (write), A (alloc), X (execute), M (merge), S (strings), I (info),
  L (link order), O (extra OS processing required), G (group), T (TLS),
  C (compressed), x (unknown), o (OS specific), E (exclude),
  R (retain), l (large), p (processor specific)

The .rela. sections are already handled by individual linker scripts.
