Subject: [PATCH 10/11] x86: use new macro for .data.read_mostly section.
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:01:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1241136098-10376-11-git-send-email-tabbott@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241136098-10376-10-git-send-email-tabbott@mit.edu>
.data.read_mostly should not need a separate output section; this
change moves it into the .data section.
Since after the .data.read_mostly unification, _edata is now in the
same place on 32-bit and 64-bit, combine the definitions.
