[PATCH v6 24/29] x86/build: Assert for unwanted sections

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-21 19:45:39
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

In preparation for warning on orphan sections, enforce other
expected-to-be-zero-sized sections (since discarding them might hide
problems with them suddenly gaining unexpected entries).

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <redacted>
