Subject: [RFT/RFC PATCH 0/6] ARM kernel size fixes
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:38:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1426181892-15440-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
This series is a suggested approach to preventing linker failures on large
kernels. It is somewhat unpolished, and posted for comments/testing primarily.
The issues were found and reported by Arnd Bergmann, and these patches are
loosely based on his initial approach to work around them.
Ard Biesheuvel (6):
ARM: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset
ARM: move HYP text to end of .text section
ARM: add macro to perform far branches (b/bl)
ARM: use bl_far to call __hyp_stub_install_secondary from the .data
section
ARM: move the .idmap.text section closer to .head.text
ARM: keep .text and .fixup regions together
