+Subject: [PATCH 062/103] objtool, modules: Discard objtool annotation sections
+ for modules
+
+commit e390f9a9689a42f477a6073e2e7df530a4c1b740 upstream.
+
+The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
+only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
+should also be discarded for modules.
+
+Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
+".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
+such sections.
+
+Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
+since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.
