[PATCH v8 01/14] x86: Makefile: Add build and config option for CONFIG_FG_KASLR

Alexander Lobakin

From: Kristen Carlson Accardi <kristen@linux.intel.com>

Allow user to select CONFIG_FG_KASLR if dependencies are met. Change
the make file to build with -ffunction-sections if CONFIG_FG_KASLR.

While the only architecture that supports CONFIG_FG_KASLR does not
currently enable HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION, make sure these
2 features play nicely together for the future by ensuring that if
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is selected when used with
CONFIG_FG_KASLR the function sections will not be consolidated back
into .text. Thanks to Kees Cook for the dead code elimination changes.

[ alobakin:
- improve cflags management in the top Makefile
- move ARCH_HAS_FG_KASLR to the top arch/Kconfig
- add symtab_shndx to the list of known sections ]
