x86/kexec: Fix location of relocate_kernel with -ffunction-sections
After commit cb33ff9 ("x86/kexec: Move relocate_kernel to kernel .data section"), kernels configured with an option that uses -ffunction-sections, such as CONFIG_LTO_CLANG, crash when kexecing because the value of relocate_kernel does not match the value of __relocate_kernel_start so incorrect code gets copied via machine_kexec_prepare(). $ llvm-nm good-vmlinux &| rg relocate_kernel ffffffff83280d41 T __relocate_kernel_end ffffffff83280b00 T __relocate_kernel_start ffffffff83280b00 T relocate_kernel $ llvm-nm bad-vmlinux &| rg relocate_kernel ffffffff83266100 D __relocate_kernel_end ffffffff83266100 D __relocate_kernel_start ffffffff8120b0d8 T relocate_kernel When -ffunction-sections is enabled, TEXT_MAIN matches on '.text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*' to coalesce the function specific functions back into .text during link time after they have been optimized. Due to the placement of TEXT_TEXT before KEXEC_RELOCATE_KERNEL in the x86 linker script, the .text.relocate_kernel section ends up in .text instead of .data. Use a second dot in the relocate_kernel section name to avoid matching on TEXT_MAIN, which matches a similar situation that happened in commit 79cd2a1 ("x86/retpoline,kprobes: Fix position of thunk sections with CONFIG_LTO_CLANG"), which allows kexec to function properly. While .data.relocate_kernel still ends up in the .data section via DATA_MAIN -> DATA_DATA, ensure it is located with the .text.relocate_kernel section as intended by performing the same transformation.
