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 (5): ia64: Use .ref.text, not .text.init for start_ap. ia64: use new macro for .data.cacheline_aligned section. ia64: use new macros for .data.init_task ia64: use new macro for .data.read_mostly section. ia64: convert to new generic read_mostly support. arch/ia64/Kconfig | 3 +++ arch/ia64/include/asm/cache.h | 2 -- arch/ia64/kernel/head.S | 2 +- arch/ia64/kernel/init_task.c | 2 +- arch/ia64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 15 +++------------ arch/ia64/xen/xensetup.S | 3 ++- 6 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 17 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/
