    x86/vmlinux: Restore "text" Program Header with dummy section · 7a42d41d
    Kees Cook authored
    In a linker script, if one places a section in one or more segments using
    ":PHDR", then the linker will place all subsequent allocatable sections,
    which do not specify ":PHDR", into the same segments. In order to have
    the NOTES section in both PT_LOAD (":text") and PT_NOTE (":note"), both
    segments are marked, and the only way to undo this to keep subsequent
    sections out of PT_NOTE is to mark the following section with just the
    single desired PT_LOAD (":text").
    
    In preparation for having a common NOTES macro, perform the segment
    assignment using a dummy section (as done by other architectures).
