[PATCH 4.19 64/73] Revert "x86/build: Move _etext to actual end of .text"

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Jun 07 2019 - 11:50:34 EST


From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This reverts commit 392bef709659abea614abfe53cf228e7a59876a4.

It seems to cause lots of problems when using the gold linker, and no
one really needs this at the moment, so just revert it from the stable
trees.
