Hi,
That's where I'm not sure on, I see the fill section but can't work out where it's coming from:
Memory Configuration

Name Origin Length Attributes
FLASH 0x00000000 0x00100000 xr
SRAM 0x20000000 0x00040000 xw
IDT_LIST 0x20040000 0x00000800 xw
*default* 0x00000000 0xffffffff

The linker.cmd file has this:

} > FLASH
Does the ". = 0x1000;" indicate the padding?
Thanks,
