The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.Suggested-by: Linus Torvalds

- Correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL type strings are
supposed to be uppercase only. Fix this and add tr/[a-z]/[A-Z] to the
type check in case I forget this again sometime in the future.- Improve the mechanism to find these defects so all 3 current checks
are done on the format string[joe@perches.com: correct the misuse of type string PRINTF_0xDECIMAL, improve the mechanism to find these defects]

I wrote a simple script to find new typo not in spelling.txt.
(https://github.com/jinb-park/find-linux-kernel-typo)and get following result:
[ rank ]
63 paramaters
18 alignement
9 strucuture
....The number means how many files include the typo.
This patch adds these common typo.Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170112113452.GA7042@pjb1027-Latitude-E5410

Lines containing "} else {" should not be detected as unbalanced braces.
But the second check can be reduced to ".+else\s*{" and it therefore
never checked if the beginning of a line contains any other character
(like the relevant "}"). This check would also return true for "} else
{" and create warnings likeCHECK: Unbalanced braces around else statement
