I do not understand why you rush into the revert so quickly.
We are before -rc1.
We have 7 weeks before the 6.2 release
(assuming we will have up to -rc7).

If we get -rc6 or -rc7 and we still do not
solve the issue, we should consider reverting it.



The problem is that the .notes section was
turned into PROGBITS.



$ aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -S  vmlinux.good

   [ snip ]

  [ 7] .notes            NOTE             ffffffc0082c53a0  002d53a0
       0000000000000054  0000000000000000   A       0     0     4



$ aarch64-linux-gnu-readelf -S  vmlinux.bad

  [ snip ]

  [ 7] .notes            PROGBITS         ffffffc0082c5380  002d5380
       0000000000000054  0000000000000000   A       0     0     4




I just want to figure out why the linker transforms it this way.
