$ git grep -P -n '__section\s*\(\s*\"'
arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c:45:u64 __section(".mmuoff.data.write") vabits_actual;
include/linux/compiler.h:211: __section("___kentry" "+" #sym )
\
include/linux/export.h:133: static int __ksym_marker_##sym[0]
__section(".discard.ksym") __used
include/linux/srcutree.h:127: __section("___srcu_struct_ptrs") = &name
