Subject: [PATCH v2] arm64: extable: sort the exception table at build time
Date: Wed, 22 May 2013 19:03:32 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1369245812-27231-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> (raw)
As is done for other architectures, sort the exception table at
build-time rather than during boot.
Since sortextable appears to be a standalone C program relying on the
host elf.h to provide EM_AARCH64, I've had to add a conditional check in
order to allow cross-compilation on machines that aren't running a
bleeding-edge libc-dev.
