[PATCH 09/15] arm64: keep .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement

From: Nick Desaulniers <hidden>
Date: 2017-11-03 18:40:04
Also in: lkml

This patch can likely be taken regardless of the rest of the series.
It would be good to get additional review from the person who added
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION maybe?

Make sure the linker doesn't remove .altinstructions or
.altinstr_replacement when CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is
enabled.
