Subject: [PATCH 5.15 45/76] modpost: Add '.ltext' and '.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS

From: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@...nel.org>

[ Upstream commit 397586506c3da005b9333ce5947ad01e8018a3be ]

After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a
segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost:
unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a
warning:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown)
  WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references
  section ".ltext" which is not in the list of
  authorized sections.  If you're adding a new section
  and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the
  list of authorized sections to jump to on fault.
  This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to
  OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c.

The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and
'.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large',
which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text'
and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.
