[PATCH 5/9] Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-28 00:23:05
Also in: linux-arch, linux-kbuild, lkml
Subsystem: generic include/asm header files, the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

From: "H.J. Lu" <redacted>

In x86 kernel, .exit.text and .exit.data sections are discarded at
runtime, not by linker.  Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS
and define it in x86 kernel linker script to keep them.
