Subject: [PATCH] xtensa: add NOTES section to the linker script
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2018 19:04:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181030020419.17964-1-jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> (raw)
This section collects all source .note.* sections together in the
vmlinux image. Without it .note.Linux section may be placed at address
0, while the rest of the kernel is at its normal address, resulting in a
huge vmlinux.bin image that may not be linked into the xtensa Image.elf.
