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.
