From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7934c98a6e04028eb34c1293bfb5a6b0ab630b66 ] Markus reported that perf segfaults when reading /sys/kernel/notes from a kernel linked with GNU gold, due to what looks like a gold bug, so do some bounds checking to avoid crashing in that case.
