Subject: .section problems in entry.S
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 10:05:08 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C1104D4.F700768A@broadcom.com> (raw)

I just investigated assembler warnings coming from
arch/mips/kernel/entry.S (checked out as of 12/07 00:00 UTC), and
noticed the following.  After expanding macros, you get something like:

	.text

	.section ".text.init"   (from __INIT)

	.data			(from PANIC)
	.previous		(from PANIC)
	--> section is now .text.init

	.previous		(from __FINIT)
	--> section is now .data, not .text as intended.

Perhaps .pushsection and .popsection should be used in some or all
macros like this?

Or am I smoking crack?

Kip
