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 (3): xtensa: Use macros for .bss.page_aligned section. xtensa: use new macro for .data.cacheline_aligned section. xtensa: use new macros for .data.init_task. arch/xtensa/kernel/head.S | 2 +- arch/xtensa/kernel/init_task.c | 3 +-- arch/xtensa/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 10 +++------- 3 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 10 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/
