Instead of using 0x90 (NOP) to fill bytes between functions, which makes
it easier to sloppily target functions in function pointer overwrite
attacks, fill with 0xCC (INT3) to force a trap. Also drop the space
between "=" and the value to better match the binutils documentation
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Output-Section-Fill.html#Output-Section-Fill
Example "objdump -d" before:
...
ffffffff810001e0 <start_cpu0>:
ffffffff810001e0: 48 8b 25 e1 b1 51 01 mov 0x151b1e1(%rip),%rsp #
ffffffff8251b3c8 <initial_stack>
ffffffff810001e7: e9 d5 fe ff ff jmpq
ffffffff810000c1 <secondary_startup_64+0x91>
ffffffff810001ec: 90 nop
ffffffff810001ed: 90 nop
ffffffff810001ee: 90 nop
ffffffff810001ef: 90 nop
ffffffff810001f0 <__startup_64>:
...
After:
...
ffffffff810001e0 <start_cpu0>:
ffffffff810001e0: 48 8b 25 41 79 53 01 mov 0x1537941(%rip),%rsp #
ffffffff82537b28 <initial_stack>
ffffffff810001e7: e9 d5 fe ff ff jmpq
ffffffff810000c1 <secondary_startup_64+0x91>
ffffffff810001ec: cc int3
ffffffff810001ed: cc int3
ffffffff810001ee: cc int3
ffffffff810001ef: cc int3
ffffffff810001f0 <__startup_64>:
