Subject: [PATCH 1/2] vmlinux.lds.h: Allow architectures to add sections to the front of .bss
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 11:08:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344967681-13179-2-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344967681-13179-1-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com>

From: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com>

Follow-on MIPS patch will put an object here that needs 64K alignment
to minimize padding.

For those architectures that don't define BSS_FIRST_SECTIONS, there is
no change.
