GCC 6.1+ fixed https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192 which

for now, simply include the string sections for all functions as is done
for previous versions of GCC.
Are there plans to push this to the upstream kpatch repo? Or did
they do it in some other way?
There isn't an upstream change for this. I _think_ the reason is that
differences in the way that the Linux kernel is built (e.g. without
-fPIC), and the way that the kpatch module is created means that kpatch
is not affected by this.
