commit e32683c6f7d22ba624e0bfc58b02cf3348bdca63 upstream.
With binutils 2.26, RESERVE_BRK() causes a build failure:
/tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')'
/tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')'
/tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: missing ')'
/tmp/ccnGOKZ5.s:98: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized
character is `U'
The problem is this line:
RESERVE_BRK(early_pgt_alloc, INIT_PGT_BUF_SIZE)
Specifically, the INIT_PGT_BUF_SIZE macro which (via PAGE_SIZE's use
_AC()) has a "1UL", which makes older versions of the assembler unhappy.
Unfortunately the _AC() macro doesn't work for inline asm.
Inline asm was only needed here to convince the toolchain to add the
STT_NOBITS flag. However, if a C variable is placed in a section whose
name is prefixed with ".bss", GCC and Clang automatically set
STT_NOBITS. In fact, ".bss..page_aligned" already relies on this trick.
So fix the build failure (and simplify the macro) by allocating the
variable in C.
Also, add NOLOAD to the ".brk" output section clause in the linker
script. This is a failsafe in case the ".bss" prefix magic trick ever
stops working somehow. If there's a section type mismatch, the GNU
linker will force the ".brk" output section to be STT_NOBITS. The LLVM
linker will fail with a "section type mismatch" error.
Note this also changes the name of the variable from .brk.##name to
__brk_##name. The variable names aren't actually used anywhere, so it's
harmless.

commit a1e2c031ec3949b8c039b739c0b5bf9c30007b00 upstream.
RESERVE_BRK() reserves data in the .brk_reservation section. The data
is initialized to zero, like BSS, so the macro specifies 'nobits' to
prevent the data from taking up space in the vmlinux binary. The only
way to get the compiler to do that (without putting the variable in .bss
proper) is to use inline asm.
The macro also has a hack which encloses the inline asm in a discarded
function, which allows the size to be passed (global inline asm doesn't
allow inputs).
Remove the need for the discarded function hack by just stringifying the
size rather than supplying it as an input to the inline asm.
