Subject: [PATCH] x86: clean up vdso-layout.lds.S
Date: Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:05:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243865115.24278.8.camel@nathan.suse.cz> (raw)

The handling of various sections in the VDSO linker script
looks pretty haphazard. This patch cleans it up in this
regards:

 - re-order sections to more closely match the result of
   a normal shared link
 - discard sections which are not useful to user-space
 - issue a linker error if a section is encountered which
   is known not to work
 - check that the .got section is empty, except for the
   three entries defined by the ABI
