From 65e710899fd19f435f40268f3a92dfaa11f14470 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu song@kernel.org Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2023 10:52:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/build: Fix linker fill bytes quirk/incompatibility for ld.lld
With ":text =0xcccc", ld.lld fills unused text area with 0xcccc0000. Example objdump -D output:
ffffffff82b04203: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) ffffffff82b04205: cc int3 ffffffff82b04206: cc int3 ffffffff82b04207: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) ffffffff82b04209: cc int3 ffffffff82b0420a: cc int3
Replace it with ":text =0xcccccccc", so we get the following instead:
ffffffff82b04203: cc int3 ffffffff82b04204: cc int3 ffffffff82b04205: cc int3 ffffffff82b04206: cc int3 ffffffff82b04207: cc int3 ffffffff82b04208: cc int3
gcc/ld doesn't seem to have the same issue. The generated code stays the same for gcc/ld.
