With gcc toplevel assembler statements that do not mark themselves as .text may end up in other sections. This causes LTO boot crashes because various assembler statements ended up in the middle of the initcall section. It's also a latent problem without LTO, although it's currently not known to cause any real problems. According to the gcc team it's expected behavior. Always mark all the top level assembler statements as text so that they switch to the right 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.
