Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] parisc: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:34:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1253306078-7066-2-git-send-email-tabbott@ksplice.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1253306078-7066-1-git-send-email-tabbott@ksplice.com>
This patch has the (likely harmless) side effect of moving
.data.init_task inside the _edata.
It also changes the alignment of .data.init_task from 16384 to
THREAD_SIZE, which can in some configurations be larger than 16384. I
believe that this change fixes a potential bug on those
configurations.
