+Subject: elfnote: mark all .note sections SHF_ALLOC
+
+From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
+
+commit 51da9dfb7f20911ae4e79e9b412a9c2d4c373d4b upstream.
+
+ELFNOTE_START allows callers to specify flags for .pushsection assembler
+directives.  All callsites but ELF_NOTE use "a" for SHF_ALLOC.  For vdso's
+that explicitly use ELF_NOTE_START and BUILD_SALT, the same section is
+specified twice after preprocessing, once with "a" flag, once without.
+Example:
+
+.pushsection .note.Linux, "a", @note ;
+.pushsection .note.Linux, "", @note ;
+
+While GNU as allows this ordering, it warns for the opposite ordering,
+making these directives position dependent.  We'd prefer not to precisely
+match this behavior in Clang's integrated assembler.  Instead, the non
+__ASSEMBLY__ definition of ELF_NOTE uses
+__attribute__((section(".note.Linux"))) which is created with SHF_ALLOC,
+so let's make the __ASSEMBLY__ definition of ELF_NOTE consistent with C
+and just always use "a" flag.
+
+This allows Clang to assemble a working mainline (5.6) kernel via:
+$ make CC=clang AS=clang
