arm64: Handle .ARM.attributes section in linker scripts
commit ca0f4fe7cf7183bfbdc67ca2de56ae1fc3a8db2b upstream. A recent LLVM commit [1] started generating an .ARM.attributes section similar to the one that exists for 32-bit, which results in orphan section warnings (or errors if CONFIG_WERROR is enabled) from the linker because it is not handled in the arm64 linker scripts. ld.lld: error: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o:(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgetrandom.o:(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/vsprintf.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/win_minmax.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/xarray.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes' Discard the new sections in the necessary linker scripts to resolve the warnings, as the kernel and vDSO do not need to retain it, similar to the .note.gnu.property section.
