Yes, that's true, my idea on how to do that was completely broken, so we're basically back to the old way. BTW: That also means that your and everybody's vmlinux.lds.S does *not* need adapting. I'll take a look on how to do sparc's btfixup in a similar way, without messing up the common code too much. BTW, the combination kallsyms + btfixup, does that need a particular ordering? --Kai - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
