The GNU assembler generates an empty .bss section. This is a well established behavior in GAS that happens in all supported targets. The LLVM assembler doesn't generate an empty .bss section. bpftool chokes on the empty .bss section. Additionally in bpf_object__elf_collect the sec_desc->data is not initialized when a section is not recognized. In this case, this happens with .comment. So we must check that sec_desc->data is initialized before checking if the size is 0.

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.
