Subject: [PATCH 2/4] powerpc: enable text relative kallsyms for ppc64
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 10:05:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453280738-18721-3-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1453280738-18721-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

This enables the newly introduced text-relative kallsyms support when
building 64-bit targets. This cuts the size of the kallsyms address
table in half, and drastically reduces the size of the PIE dynamic
relocation section when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (by about
3 MB for ppc64_defconfig)
