From 6e0bf0e0e55000742a53c5f3b58f8669e0091a11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2020 19:53:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot/compressed: Warn on orphan section placement 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.
