Subject: [PATCH 5.4 2/2] riscv module: remove (NOLOAD)

From: Fangrui Song <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 18:26:17 -0700

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outdated for ELF.
