6184358da0 ("riscv: Fixup static_obj() fail") attempted to elide a lockdep
failure by rearranging our kernel image to place all initdata within [_stext,
_end], thus triggering lockdep to treat these as static objects. These objects
are released and eventually reallocated, causing check_kernel_text_object() to
trigger a BUG().
This backs out the change to make [_stext, _end] all-encompassing, instead just
moving initdata. This results in initdata being outside of [__init_begin,
__init_end], which means initdata can't be freed.

============
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.
