            Bug ID: 42950
           Summary: __attribute__((section())) string should not be
                    escaped
           Product: clang
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

            Blocks: 4068

int foo __attribute__((__section__("\".foo\"")));


In Clang produces:
  .section "\".foo\"","aw",@progbits

In GCC:
  .section ".foo","aw"

This is leading to a bug in Clang built Linux kernels for distros that use BPF
(not eBPF) during boot, causing them to fail to boot.
