[PATCH] x86: Don't discard .exit.text and .exit.data at link-time

From: H.J. Lu
Date: Thu Jan 30 2020 - 13:00:55 EST


Since .exit.text and .exit.data sections are discarded at runtime, we
should undefine EXIT_TEXT and EXIT_DATA to exclude .exit.text and
.exit.data sections from default discarded sections.
