>CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW assumes the __cfi_check() function is page
>aligned and at the beginning of the .text section. While Clang would
>normally align the function correctly, it fails to do so for modules
>with no executable code.

>This change ensures the correct __cfi_check() location and
>alignment. It also discards the .eh_frame section, which Clang can
>generate with certain sanitizers, such as CFI.
