efi/libstub/arm64: Force 'hidden' visibility for section markers
To prevent the compiler from emitting absolute references to the section markers when running in PIC mode, override the visibility to 'hidden' for all contents of asm/sections.h Tested-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Matt Fleming <matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170818194947.19347-4-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
