Subject: [PATCH] arm64: move elf notes into readonly segment
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 11:16:42 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377271002.7359.2.camel@deneb.redhat.com> (raw)
The current vmlinux.lds.S places the notes sections between the
end of rw data and start of bss. This means that _edata doesn't
really point to the end of data. Since notes are read-only, this
patch moves them to the read-only segment so that _edata does
point to the end of initialized rw data.
