When enabling CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS, the linker will warn about the
orphan sections:
(".discard.ksym") is being placed in '".discard.ksym"'
repeatedly when linking vmlinux. This is because the stringification
operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings. GCC and Clang differ
in how they treat section names that contain \".
The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor
stringification operator.

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.
