The existence of this line probably dates back to the (long abandoned) idea that x86_64 would have .sdata for "small" data and .data for large data. However, the final ABI has .data for "normal" data and .ldata for large data, so this line is no longer pertinent. --- arch/x86/vdso/vdso-layout.lds.S | 1 - 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-layout.lds.S b/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-layout.lds.S index 917df03..af3fa61 100644 --- a/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-layout.lds.S +++ b/arch/x86/vdso/vdso-layout.lds.S @@ -50,7 +50,6 @@ SECTIONS } :text .data : { *(.data*) - *(.sdata*) *(.got.plt) *(.got) *(.gnu.linkonce.d.*) *(.bss*) -- 1.6.0.2 -- 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/
