[PATCH v4 02/17] vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid KASAN and KCSAN's unwanted sections

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Jun 29 2020 - 16:51:37 EST


KASAN (-fsanitize=kernel-address) and KCSAN (-fsanitize=thread) produce
unwanted[1] .eh_frame and .init_array.* sections. Add them to DISCARDS,
except with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, which wants to keep .init_array.*
sections.
