There are some fixes based on comments from Richard Henderson; it has also been rebased on top of Linus's current master. This cross-architecture linker script cleanup project is in preparation for adding support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, which is a prerequisite for Ksplice. Geoffrey Thomas (1): alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros. Tim Abbott (2): alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread. Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION. arch/alpha/kernel/init_task.c | 5 +- arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 95 ++++--------------------------------- include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h | 4 +- 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 90 deletions(-)
