kcsan: select CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS
Building a kcsan enabled kernel for x86_64 with gcc-11 results in a lot of build warnings or errors without CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS: x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/copy_mc.o' x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/cpu.o' x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/csum-partial_64.o' x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/csum-wrappers_64.o' x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.o' x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/insn.o' x86_64-linux-ld: error: unplaced orphan section `.ctors.65436' from `arch/x86/lib/misc.o' The same thing has been reported for mips64. I can't reproduce it for any other compiler version, so I don't know if constructors are always required here or if this is a gcc-11 specific implementation detail. I see no harm in always enabling constructors here, and this reliably fixes the build warnings for me.
