Kees Cook 815d680771 x86/build: Enforce an empty .got.plt section
The .got.plt section should always be zero (or filled only with the
linker-generated lazy dispatch entry). Enforce this with an assert and
mark the section as INFO. This is more sensitive than just blindly
discarding the section.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
