Subject: [PATCH] arm64: add PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA to linker script
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 16:37:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381264659-11132-1-git-send-email-msalter@redhat.com> (raw)
The arm64 linker script doesn't use the PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA macro which
leads to a ".data..page_aligned" section being placed between the end
of .data and start of .bss:
% readelf -e vmlinux
...
Section to Segment mapping:
Segment Sections...
00 .head.text .text .text.init .rodata __ksymtab __ksymtab_gpl \
__ksymtab_strings __param __modver __ex_table .notes \
.init.text .init.data .data..percpu .data .data..page_aligned .bss
This causes problems for the EFI stub which may have to relocate the
kernel image based on stext and _edata symbols.
This patch adds PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() to the linker script inside the
the .data section.
