Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/11] x86: make sure _etext includes function sections
Date: Wed,  5 Feb 2020 14:39:45 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200205223950.1212394-7-kristen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200205223950.1212394-1-kristen@linux.intel.com>

We will be using -ffunction-sections to place each function in
it's own text section so it can be randomized at load time. The
linker considers these .text.* sections "orphaned sections", and
will place them after the first similar section (.text). However,
we need to move _etext so that it is after both .text and .text.*
We also need to calculate text size to include .text AND .text.*
