Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] x86/xen/pvh: Move startup code into .ref.text
Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2024 14:04:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240425120416.2041037-8-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240425120416.2041037-6-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
The Xen PVH startup code does not need to live in .head.text, given that
its entry point is not at a fixed offset, and is communicated to the
host/VMM via an ELF note.
So move it out of .head.text into another code section. To avoid
spurious warnings about references to .init code, move it into .ref.text
rather than .text. (Note that the ELF note itself is not .init and so
moving this code into .init.text would result in warnings as well)
