[ Upstream commit 8dcf86caa1e3daf4a6ccf38e97f4f752b411f829 ]
Enabling CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y causes linker errors on ARM:
`.text.exit' referenced in section `.ARM.exidx.text.exit': defined in discarded section `.text.exit'
`.text.exit' referenced in section `.fini_array.00100': defined in discarded section `.text.exit'
And related errors on NDS32:
`.text.exit' referenced in section `.dtors.65435': defined in discarded section `.text.exit'
The gcov compiler flags cause certain compiler versions to generate additional destructor-related sections that are not yet handled by the linker script, resulting in references between discarded and non-discarded sections.
Since destructors are not used in the Linux kernel, fix this by discarding these additional sections.
