[PATCH 4.4 18/70] efi/libstub/arm64: Force hidden visibility for section markers

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

commit 0426a4e68f18d75515414361de9e3e1445d2644e upstream.

To prevent the compiler from emitting absolute references to the section
markers when running in PIC mode, override the visibility to 'hidden' for
all contents of asm/sections.h
