[PATCH 1/4] Make section names compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections

Tim Abbott
2009-03-24T05:31:20Z

The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to build the kernel
with "gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections". This is a key step
towards being able to compile the kernel using the --gc-sections
linker option, which can be used to decrease the vmlinux size by
garbage collecting unused functions. Also, Ksplice's 'run-pre
matching' process is much simpler if the original kernel was compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections.

Currently, the kernel uses a number of "magic" section names such as
".data.nosave" and ".text.head".

The problem is that with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, gcc
places code like

static void head(...) {...}

in the .text.head section, and code like

static int nosave = 1;

in the .data.nosave section, causing code to be inappropriately placed
in the "magic" sections. This patch renames all "magic" section names
used by the kernel to use ".." rather than "." as the delimiter
between the section prefix (e.g. ".text") and suffix (e.g. "head"), so
that ".data.nosave" becomes ".data..nosave", etc. The key property of
these names is that there are no collisions between the kernel's
"magic" sections and the sections generated by gcc's
-ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections options. One can then
reference the sections generated by -ffunction-sections using a linker
script pattern such as *(.text.[A-Za-z$_]*)

This patch is based on an some earlier patches by Denys Vlasenko.
Those earlier patches used section names like ".kernel.text.head".
Because these names did not begin with e.g. ".text", the assembler did
not automatically use the correct section flags for them, and so one
needed to explicitly declare the sections flags when declaring a
section in assembly files using code such as:

.section .kernel.text.head, "ax", @progbits

These explicit section flags in assembly files turned out to be a
common source of confusion, and so I rewrote the patch with this new
section naming scheme suggested by Anders Kaseorg.
