x86/vmlinux: Use INT3 instead of NOP for linker fill bytes
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>: ...
