Subject: [PATCH v2 8/8] x86: remove unneeded section from the vDSO
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:40:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244814040-5810-9-git-send-email-ptesarik@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1244814040-5810-1-git-send-email-ptesarik@suse.cz>

Some standard sections are not useful in the resulting binary.

.gnu.warning.* is only interesting for the linker.

.note.* may be discarded, except:
  .note.Linux which contains the Linux version
  .note.gnu.build-id which may be useful for identifying
    the vDSO
