It requires the architecture-independent macro definitions from this patch series: The long-term goal here is to add support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all the magic section names in the kernel of the form .text.foo, .data.foo, .bss.foo, and .rodata.foo to not have collisions with sections generated for code like: static int nosave = 0; /* -fdata-sections places in .data.nosave */ static void head(); /* -ffunction-sections places in .text.head */ Note that these patches have not been boot-tested (aside from testing the analogous changes on x86), since I don't have access to the appropriate hardware. -Tim Abbott Tim Abbott (6): arm: use _AC(1, UL) when defining PAGE_SIZE. arm: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros. arm: use NOSAVE_DATA macro for .data.nosave section. arm: use new macro for .data.cacheline_aligned section. arm: use new macros for .data.init_task. arm: use PERCPU macro in linker script. arch/arm/include/asm/page.h | 4 +++- arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S | 2 +- arch/arm/kernel/head.S | 2 +- arch/arm/kernel/init_task.c | 3 +-- arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 29 +++++++++-------------------- 5 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) -- 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/
