Subject: [PATCH 1/4] asm/sections: add text/data checking functions for arches to override
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:22:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1245255744-21039-1-git-send-email-vapier@gentoo.org> (raw)
Some ports (like the Blackfin arch) have a discontiguous memory map which
means there may be text or data that falls outside of the standard range
of the start/end text/data symbols. Creating some helper functions allows
these non-standard ports to declare these regions without adversely
affecting anyone else.
