x86/boot/compressed/64: Remove .bss/.pgtable from bzImage
Commit 5b11f1ce ("x86, boot: straighten out ranges to copy/zero in compressed/head*.S") introduced a separate .pgtable section, splitting it out from the rest of .bss. This section was added without the writeable flag, marking it as read-only. This results in the linker putting the .rela.dyn section (containing bogus dynamic relocations from head_64.o) after the .bss and .pgtable sections. When objcopy is used to convert compressed/vmlinux into a binary for the bzImage: $ objcopy -O binary -R .note -R .comment -S arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux \ arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin the .bss and .pgtable sections get materialized as ~176KiB of zero bytes in the binary in order to place .rela.dyn at the correct location. Fix this by marking .pgtable as writeable. This moves the .rela.dyn section up in the ELF image layout so that .bss and .pgtable are the last allocated sections and so don't appear in bzImage.
