Subject: [PATCH 00/13] Linker script cleanup patches for various architectures
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:22:14 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1253629347-23119-1-git-send-email-tabbott@ksplice.com> (raw)
Hi Linus,
This patch series contains patches cleaning up the linker scripts on
several architectures architectures (as well as one improvement to the
architecture-independent macros). Everything here has been acked or
reviewed by Sam Ravnborg. Please merge.
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.
-Tim Abbott
Tim Abbott (13):
Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION.
m32r: make PAGE_SIZE available to assembly.
m32r: Define THREAD_SIZE only once.
m32r: Move GET_THREAD_INFO definition out of asm/thread_info.h.
m32r: Remove unused .altinstructions and .exit.* code from linker
script.
m32r: Move the spi_stack_top and spu_stack_top into .init.data
section.
m32r: Cleanup linker script using new linker script macros.
parisc: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.
parisc: Remove useless altinstructions code copied from x86.
xtensa: Cleanup linker script using new linker script macros.
um: Clean up linker script using standard macros.
h8300: Cleanup linker script using new linker script macros.
mn10300: Clean up linker script using higher-level macros.
