    x86/build: Move _etext to actual end of .text · 392bef70
    Kees Cook authored
    When building x86 with Clang LTO and CFI, CFI jump regions are
    automatically added to the end of the .text section late in linking. As a
    result, the _etext position was being labelled before the appended jump
    regions, causing confusion about where the boundaries of the executable
    region actually are in the running kernel, and broke at least the fault
    injection code. This moves the _etext mark to outside (and immediately
    after) the .text area, as it already the case on other architectures
    (e.g. arm64, arm).
