Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Some vmlinux.lds.S cleanups
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 17:01:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061024210140.GB14225@in.ibm.com> (raw)
o Some cleanups based on Jan Beulich's suggestions. It boots on my box. Hope
does not break anything else.
o Renamed program header name data.init to init. "init" is now supposed
to contain init text/data.
o Moved sections ".data.init_task" and ".data.page_aligned" into program
header "data" as they don't fit logically into "init".
o Got rid of "R" permission for "note" phdr as only boot loaer is supposed
to look at note phdr.
o Got rid of "E" permission for "data" phdr.
