[PATCH] x86, kaslr: handle Gold linker for finding bss+brk

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Nov 17 2014 - 19:16:26 EST


When building with the Gold linker, the .bss and .brk areas of vmlinux
are shown as consecutive instead of having the same file offset. Allow
for either state, as long as things add up correctly.

Fixes: e6023367d779 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd")
