    Subject[PATCH v2 8/8] x86: remove unneeded section from the vDSO
    Date
    Some standard sections are not useful in the resulting binary.

    .gnu.warning.* is only interesting for the linker.

    .note.* may be discarded, except:
    .note.Linux which contains the Linux version
    .note.gnu.build-id which may be useful for identifying
    the vDSO
