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 */ These patches are on top of the x86/kbuild branch of linux-tip. -Tim Abbott Anders Kaseorg (1): x86: fix fragile computation of vsyscall address Tim Abbott (10): x86: Use macros for .bss.page_aligned section. x86: Use section .data.page_aligned for the idt_table. x86: Use macros for .data.page_aligned. x86: convert compressed loader to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros. x86: convert to use __HEAD and HEAD_TEXT macros. x86: use NOSAVE_DATA macro for .data.nosave section. x86: use new macro for .data.cacheline_aligned section. x86: use new macros for .data.init_task. x86: use new macro for .data.read_mostly section. x86: convert to new generic read_mostly support. arch/x86/Kconfig | 3 + arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_32.S | 3 +- arch/x86/boot/compressed/head_64.S | 3 +- arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.lds.S | 6 +- arch/x86/include/asm/cache.h | 2 - arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S | 6 +- arch/x86/kernel/head_64.S | 4 +- arch/x86/kernel/init_task.c | 3 +- arch/x86/kernel/traps.c | 6 +- arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 119 ++++++++------------------------ 10 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 106 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/
