Hm, I'm confused about this. blackfin includes
include/asm-generic-vmlinux.lds.h and uses the RO_DATA macro (which
resolves to RO_DATA_SECTION to RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA which defines
__[start|end]_data_ro_after_init.

Also, it seems that commit d7c19b066dcf4bd19c4385e8065558d4e74f9e73
("mm: kmemleak: scan .data.ro_after_init") added a potentially
redundant section name (s390 already calls this
__[start|end]_ro_after_init). I'd like to get this cleaned up, since
having multiple names for the same thing is confusing:

diff --git a/arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
index 000e6e91f6a0..3667d20e997f 100644
--- a/arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
+++ b/arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
@@ -62,9 +62,11 @@ SECTIONS

. = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);
__start_ro_after_init = .;
+ __start_data_ro_after_init = .;
.data..ro_after_init : {
*(.data..ro_after_init)
}
+ __end_data_ro_after_init = .;
EXCEPTION_TABLE(16)
. = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE);
__end_ro_after_init = .;
And it seems that this hunk is wrong (__end_ro_after_init includes
s390's exception table, etc). I think we should remove the
..._data_... name and use s390's name.

I'll send an adjustment patch, but we'll still need to deal with blackfin.
