[PATCH v6 kspp-next 12/22] linkage: add macros for putting ASM functions into own sections

From: Alexander Lobakin <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-31 14:43:07
Also in: linux-hardening, linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

With ClangLTO or -ffunction-sections (DCE, FG-KASLR), compiler
places C functions into separate sections by default.
However, this doesn't happen with ASM functions which are still
being placed into .text.
Introduce a pack of macros which generate a new unique section
for the describing function named in the same fashion
(.text.<func_name>).
This will be needed to make input .text section empty to harden
the kernel even more.
