[PATCH v6 23/29] x86/build: Enforce an empty .got.plt section

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Aug 21 2020 - 15:45:30 EST


The .got.plt section should always be zero (or filled only with the
linker-generated lazy dispatch entry). Enforce this with an assert and
mark the section as INFO. This is more sensitive than just blindly
discarding the section.
