[PATCH v6 23/29] x86/build: Enforce an empty .got.plt section

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-21 19:45:31
Also in: linux-arch, linux-efi, lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

The .got.plt section should always be zero (or filled only with the
linker-generated lazy dispatch entry). Enforce this with an assert and
mark the section as INFO. This is more sensitive than just blindly
discarding the section.
