Hi David,
being see over vmlinux.lds for FRV architecture I found the string:
. = ALIGN(4096);
.data.page_aligned : { *(.data.idt) }
though the PAGE_SIZE is 16K. Can't figure out why is that...
Do you have a few spare minutes to explain, please?

Ummm... Good question. Probably a legacy thing. I think the .data.idt
section is also an x86-only thing and should be dispensed with for FRV.
Leastways, the section has nothing in it according to the link map.

A quick grep agree with you.
I see it used only in x86 in traps_32 for the F0 0F bug.
It exist in several .lds files - including frv.

Sam, maybe we should just eliminate this section at least for FRV?

You should have a patch in your inbox to do just that.

Thanks David! I've got them all.
I think Sam will take care of them to be included in mainline.
Thanks.

arch stuff like this is preferably going via the arch maintainer.
Sometimes I do all-arch patches but when they are independent
like this one they should go via the arch maintainer.
Cyrill - I would like you to do the same cleanup for
m32r + mn10300 + s390
and send the patch to the respective maintainers with a cc to me.
Thanks,
Sam
