Subject: [PATCH 4/5] x86: Use section .data.page_aligned for the idt_table.
Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 22:48:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1252464498-26293-4-git-send-email-tabbott@ksplice.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1252464498-26293-1-git-send-email-tabbott@ksplice.com>
The .data.idt section is just squashed into the .data.page_aligned
output section by the linker script anyway, so it might as well be in
the .data.page_aligned section.
This eliminates all references to .data.idt on x86.
