Subject: [PATCH v2 04/24] vmlinux.lds.h: drop unused HEADERED_SECTION* macros
Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 01:14:37 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260523-dd-maint-2-v2-4-b937312aa083@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260523-dd-maint-2-v2-0-b937312aa083@gmail.com>
These macros are unused, no point in carrying them any more.
NB: these macros were just moved to bounded_sections.lds.h, from
vmlinux.lds.h, which is the known entity, and therefore more
meaningful in the 1-line summary, so thats what I used as the topic.
