Portions of upstream commit a4055888629b ("mm/memcg: warning on !memcg
after readahead page charged") were backported as commit cfe575954ddd
("mm: add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE() macro"). Unfortunately, the backport
did not account for the lack of commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert
macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")") in kernels prior
to 5.10, resulting in the following orphan section warnings on PowerPC
clang builds with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y:
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `".data.once"' from `mm/huge_memory.o' being placed in section `".data.once"'
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `".data.once"' from `mm/huge_memory.o' being placed in section `".data.once"'
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `".data.once"' from `mm/huge_memory.o' being placed in section `".data.once"'
This is a difference between how clang and gcc handle macro
stringification, which was resolved for the kernel by not stringifying
the argument to the __section() macro. Since that change was deemed not
suitable for the stable kernels by commit 59f89518f510 ("once: fix
section mismatch on clang builds"), do that same thing as that change
and remove the quotes from the argument to __section().

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.
