The objcopy only emits loadable sections when creating flat kernel Image. To have minimal possible size of flat kernel Image, we should have all non-loadable sections after loadable sections. Currently, execption table section (loadable section) is after BSS section (non-loadable section) in the RISC-V vmlinux.lds.S. This is not optimal for having minimal flat kernel Image size hence this patch makes BSS section as the last section in RISC-V vmlinux.lds.S. In addition, we make BSS section aligned to 16byte instead of PAGE aligned which further reduces flat kernel Image size by few KBs. The flat kernel Image size of Linux-4.20-rc4 using GCC 8.2.0 is 8819980 bytes with current RISC-V vmlinux.lds.S and it reduces to 7991740 bytes with this patch applied. In summary, this patch reduces Linux-4.20-rc4 flat kernel Image size by 809 KB.
