[PATCH v7 5/5] x86/boot/compressed: Warn on orphan section placement

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2020-09-02 02:54:37
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

We don't want to depend on the linker's orphan section placement
heuristics as these can vary between linkers, and may change between
versions. All sections need to be explicitly handled in the linker
script.

Now that all sections are explicitly handled, enable orphan section
warnings.
