Relying on objcopy to prefix the ELF section names of the nVHE hyp code is brittle and prevents us from using wildcards to match specific section names. Improve the build rules by partially linking all '.nvhe.o' files and prefixing their ELF section names using a linker script. Continue using objcopy for prefixing ELF symbol names. One immediate advantage of this approach is that all subsections matching a pattern can be merged into a single prefixed section, eg. .text and .text.* can be linked into a single '.hyp.text'. This removes the need for -fno-reorder-functions on GCC and will be useful in the future too: LTO builds use .text subsections, compilers routinely generate .rodata subsections, etc. Partially linking all hyp code into a single object file also makes it easier to analyze.

README
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.
