Re: [PATCH 1/7] Make section names compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections

Anders Kaseorg
2009-02-05T02:01:28Z

From: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

This patch was originally written by Denys Vlasenko, but it has been
substantially modified by Anders Kaseorg and Tim Abbott to update it
to apply to the current kernel and fix bugs. Any bugs were added by
Anders Kaseorg and Tim Abbott.

The purpose of this patch is to make it possible to build the kernel
with "gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections".

The problem is that with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, gcc
creates sections like .text.head and .data.nosave whenever someone has
innocuous code like this:

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

or this:

static int nosave = 1;

somewhere in the kernel.

The kernel linker scripts are confused by such names, and thus put
these sections in the wrong places.

This patch renames all "magic" section names used by the kernel to not
have this format, eliminating the possibility of such collisions.

Ksplice's 'run-pre matching' process is much simpler if the original
kernel was compiled with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections.

Changelog since Denys Vlasenko's latest patch:
* Renamed .kernel.exit.text.refok to .kernel.text.exit.refok, for
better analogy with .kernel.*.init.refok.
* Updated from 2.6.27-rc4-git3 to 2.6.29-rc3.
* Added some missing section flags for some of the .kernel.* sections
(gcc assumes "ax" for sections with names starting with ".text", but
does not for sections with names starting with ".kernel.text").
