Merge tag 'core-build-2020-10-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull orphan section checking from Ingo Molnar:
 "Orphan link sections were a long-standing source of obscure bugs,
  because the heuristics that various linkers & compilers use to handle
  them (include these bits into the output image vs discarding them
  silently) are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.

  Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook
  (et al) adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any
  orphan section in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.

  And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix
  a metric ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this,
  before we can finally enable the checks on the x86, ARM and ARM64
  platforms"

 /*
- * The 32-bit x86 assembler in binutils 2.26 will generate R_386_GOT32X
- * relocation to get the symbol address in PIC.  When the compressed x86
- * kernel isn't built as PIC, the linker optimizes R_386_GOT32X
- * relocations to their fixed symbol addresses.  However, when the
- * compressed x86 kernel is loaded at a different address, it leads
- * to the following load failure:
- *
- *   Failed to allocate space for phdrs
- *
- * during the decompression stage.
- *
- * If the compressed x86 kernel is relocatable at run-time, it should be
- * compiled with -fPIE, instead of -fPIC, if possible and should be built as
- * Position Independent Executable (PIE) so that linker won't optimize
- * R_386_GOT32X relocation to its fixed symbol address.  Older
- * linkers generate R_386_32 relocations against locally defined symbols,
- * _bss, _ebss, _got, _egot and _end, in PIE.  It isn't wrong, just less
- * optimal than R_386_RELATIVE.  But the x86 kernel fails to properly handle
- * R_386_32 relocations when relocating the kernel.  To generate
- * R_386_RELATIVE relocations, we mark _bss, _ebss, _got, _egot and _end as
- * hidden:
+ * These symbols needed to be marked as .hidden to prevent the BFD linker from
+ * generating R_386_32 (rather than R_386_RELATIVE) relocations for them when
+ * the 32-bit compressed kernel is linked as PIE. This is no longer necessary,
+ * but it doesn't hurt to keep them .hidden.
