Subject: [PATCH] arm64: use local label prefixes for __reg_num symbols
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 19:01:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453917687-2494-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
The __reg_num_xNN symbols that are used to implement the msr_s and
mrs_s macros are recorded in the ELF metadata of each object file.
This is not a problem in terms of code size, but it does clobber
the output of tools like readelf, i.e.,
$ readelf -a vmlinux |grep __reg_num_x | wc -l
50976
So let's use symbols with the .L prefix, these are strictly local,
and don't end up in the object files.
$ readelf -a vmlinux |grep __reg_num_x | wc -l
0
