Subject[PATCH] x86/vmlinux: Fix linker fill bytes for ld.lld
Date
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.
