            Bug ID: 32227
           Summary: Fill between executable sections with trap
                    instructions
           Product: lld
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: ELF
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

Currently, LLD leaves padding between executable sections as-is, so they are 0.
That is not desirable for a few reasons.

1. Disassemblers would interpret the sequences of 0 bytes at end of each
function as machine instructions and print out bogus disassembly.

2. Leaving executable 0 bytes could potentially make some attack easier.

We want to fill gaps with trap instructions. On x86 and x86-64, that is 0xcc,
for example.
