perf tools: Fix perf stack to non executable on x86_64
By adding following objects: bench/mem-memcpy-x86-64-asm.o the x86_64 perf binary ended up with executable stack.
The reason was that above object are assembler sourced and is missing the GNU-stack note section. In such case the linker assumes that the final binary should not be restricted at all and mark the stack as RWX.
Adding section ".note.GNU-stack" definition to mentioned object, with all flags disabled, thus omiting this object from linker stack flags decision.
Problem introduced in:
$ git describe ea7872b v2.6.37-rc2-19-gea7872b
