gcc-plugins/stackleak: Avoid .head.text section
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The .head.text section carries the startup code that runs with the MMU
off or with a translation of memory that deviates from the ordinary one.
So avoid instrumentation with the stackleak plugin, which already avoids
.init.text and .noinstr.text entirely.

Fixes: 48204ab ("x86/sme: Move early SME kernel encryption handling into .head.text")
