I just bisected a build failure from a failed linker script assertion
that I see with allmodconfig to this change in -next as commit
ff5181d8a2a8 ("arm64/gcs: Provide basic EL2 setup to allow GCS usage at
EL0 and EL1"):

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- mrproper allmodconfig vmlinux
  aarch64-linux-ld: HYP init code too big
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
  ...

I see this with both GCC 14 and clang 19, in case toolchain version
matters. Bisect log included as well.

Cheers,
Nathan
