Portions of upstream commit a4055888629b ("mm/memcg: warning on !memcg after readahead page charged") were backported as commit cfe575954ddd ("mm: add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE_PAGE() macro"). Unfortunately, the backport did not account for the lack of commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")") in kernels prior to 5.10, resulting in the following orphan section warnings on PowerPC clang builds with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y:
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `".data.once"' from `mm/huge_memory.o' being placed in section `".data.once"' powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `".data.once"' from `mm/huge_memory.o' being placed in section `".data.once"' powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `".data.once"' from `mm/huge_memory.o' being placed in section `".data.once"'
This is a difference between how clang and gcc handle macro stringification, which was resolved for the kernel by not stringifying the argument to the __section() macro. Since that change was deemed not suitable for the stable kernels by commit 59f89518f510 ("once: fix section mismatch on clang builds"), do that same thing as that change and remove the quotes from the argument to __section().

As far as I can tell, this should be applied to 5.4 and earlier. It should apply cleanly but let me know if not.
Queued up everywhere, thanks.
