When compiling the kernel with -ffunction-sections (e.g., for LTO,
livepatch, dead code elimination, AutoFDO, or Propeller), the startup()
function gets compiled into the .text.startup section. In some cases it
can even be cloned into .text.startup.constprop.0 or
.text.startup.isra.0.
However, the .text.startup and .text.startup.* section names are already
reserved for use by the compiler for __attribute__((constructor)) code.
This naming conflict causes the vmlinux linker script to wrongly place
startup() function code in .init.text, which gets freed during boot.
Fix that by renaming startup() to ov2722_startup().
Fixes: 6568f14cb5 ("vmlinux.lds: Exclude .text.startup and .text.exit from TEXT_MAIN")

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 reStructuredText 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.
