[PATCH v6 18/29] arm/build: Assert for unwanted sections

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-21 19:45:54
Also in: linux-arch, linux-efi, lkml
Subsystem: arm port, the rest · Maintainers: Russell King, Linus Torvalds

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

Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <redacted>
