Subject: Linker script cleanup / consolidation
Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 22:04:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070524200440.GA1109@uranus.ravnborg.org> (raw)
With basis in sparc64 I did a small cleanup / consolidation work.
The sparc64 lds script is by no menas the worst to look at but
a anyway a good place to start.
In the following patch serie I did:
-> Introduce a C-like indention style
-> Introduce use of PAGE_SIZE as replacement for hardcoded constant
-> Consoildate initramfs definition
While browsing the other arch lds files I saw many other smaller
items that could be consolidated but creating a define for
something like 3-5 lines was to push it too much.
If there are a number of sections that could be defined together
I would like to combine then in a common section but I do
know too little about the linker scripts to determine this.
The other archs shall have a similar clean-up over time.
sparc64 was just a good place to start because David had
expressed that he liked the consolidation.
Sam
