In a linker script, if one places a section in one or more segments using
":PHDR", then the linker will place all subsequent allocatable sections,
which do not specify ":PHDR", into the same segments. In order to have
the NOTES section in both PT_LOAD (":text") and PT_NOTE (":note"), both
segments are marked, and the only way to undo this to keep subsequent
sections out of PT_NOTE is to mark the following section with just the
single desired PT_LOAD (":text").
In preparation for having a common NOTES macro, perform the segment
assignment using a dummy section (as done by other architectures).

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.
