For ARM defconfig (i.e. multi_v7_defconfig), modpost fails to detect
some types of section mismatches.
[test code]
#include <linux/init.h>
int __initdata foo;
int get_foo(void) { return foo; }
It is apparently a bad reference, but modpost does not report anything.
The test code above produces the following relocations.
Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x200 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym. Name
00000000 0000062b R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC 00000000 .LANCHOR0
00000004 0000062c R_ARM_MOVT_ABS 00000000 .LANCHOR0
Currently, R_ARM_MOVW_ABS_NC and R_ARM_MOVT_ABS are just skipped.
Add code to handle them. I checked arch/arm/kernel/module.c to learn
how the offset is encoded in the instruction.
The referenced symbol in relocation might be a local anchor.
If is_valid_name() returns false, let's search for a better symbol name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
