From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org (Ard Biesheuvel) Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 08:18:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] arm: compressed: discard ksymtab/kcrctab sections In-Reply-To: <20170629081849.15081-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> References: <20170629081849.15081-1-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Message-ID: <20170629081849.15081-5-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org With UEFI support added to the decompressor, we may end up including C code that is part of the kernel proper, but is rebuilt for the decompressor. This may result in ksymtab/kcrctab metadata being duplicated into the decompressor, so discard such regions explicitly.
