[PATCH v4 15/17] arm/boot: Warn on orphan section placement

Kees Cook
2020-06-29T19:12:45Z

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 named in the linker
script.

Use common macros for debug sections, discards, and text stubs. Add
discards for unwanted .note, and .rel sections. Finally, enable orphan
section warning.
