From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: vmlinux.lds: account for destructor sections If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled and gcc is configured with --disable-initfini-array and/or gold linker is used, gcc emits .ctors/.dtors and .text.startup/.text.exit sections instead of .init_array/.fini_array. .dtors section is not explicitly accounted in the linker script and messes vvar/percpu layout. Want: ffffffff822bfd80 D _edata ffffffff822c0000 D __vvar_beginning_hack ffffffff822c0000 A __vvar_page ffffffff822c0080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data ffffffff822c1000 A __init_begin ffffffff822c1000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union ffffffff822c1000 A __per_cpu_load ffffffff822d3000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page Got: ffffffff8279a600 D _edata ffffffff8279b000 A __vvar_page ffffffff8279c000 A __init_begin ffffffff8279c000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union ffffffff8279c000 A __per_cpu_load ffffffff8279e000 D __vvar_beginning_hack ffffffff8279e080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data ffffffff827ae000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page This happens because __vvar_page and .vvar get different addresses in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S: . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); __vvar_page = .; .vvar : AT(ADDR(.vvar) - LOAD_OFFSET) { /* work around gold bug 13023 */ __vvar_beginning_hack = .; Discard .dtors/.fini_array/.text.exit, since we don't call dtors. Merge .text.startup into init text.
