Since commit 0043ecea23 ("vmlinux.lds.h: Adjust symbol ordering in
text output section"), the exception table in arch/openrisc/kernel/head.S
is no longer positioned at the very beginning of the kernel image, which
causes a boot failure.
Currently, the exception table resides in the regular .text section.
Previously, it was placed at the head by relying on the linker receiving
arch/openrisc/kernel/head.o as the first object. However, this behavior
has changed because sections like .text.{asan,unknown,unlikely,hot} now
precede the regular .text section.
The .head.text section is intended for entry points requiring special
placement. However, in OpenRISC, this section has been misused: instead
of the entry points, it contains boot code meant to be discarded after
booting. This feature is typically handled by the .init.text section.
This commit addresses the issue by replacing the current __HEAD marker
with __INIT and re-annotating the entry points with __HEAD. Additionally,
it adds __REF to entry.S to suppress the following modpost warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: _tng_kernel_start+0x70 (section: .text) -> _start (section: .init.text)

Mark __kernel_entry as ".head.text" and place HEAD_TEXT before
TEXT_TEXT in the linker script. This ensures that __kernel_entry
will be placed at the beginning of text section.

In the previous discussion (see the Link tag), Ard pointed out that
arm/arm64/kernel/head.o does not need any special treatment - the only
piece that must appear right at the start of the binary image is the
image header which is emitted into .head.text.
The linker script does the right thing to do. The build system does
not need to manipulate the link order of head.o.

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.
A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.
I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.
I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.
