Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: move _etext out of the text section
Date: Tue, 2 May 2006 13:25:25 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060502132525.00bde9ab.sfr@canb.auug.org.au> (raw)
The readprofile program stops when it hits the first non-text symbol
after _stext. By moving _etext, it will become an absolute symbol and
so stop the readprofile output. This is a safety measure in case more
text symbols are placed directly after the text section.

It would be nice if this was in 2.6.17, but 2.6.18 would also do.
