Subject: [PATCH] [18/19] x86_64: Overlapping program headers in physical addr space fix
Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2006 18:51:38 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061021165138.B8B5E13C4D@wotan.suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061021 651.356252000@suse.de>


From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

o A recent change to vmlinux.ld.S file broke kexec as now resulting vmlinux
  program headers are overlapping in physical address space.

o Now all the vsyscall related sections are placed after data and after
  that mostly init data sections are placed. To avoid physical overlap
  among phdrs, there are three possible solutions.
	- Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user
	- move vsyscal sections after init data in bss.
	- create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections
	  after vsyscall into this new phdr.

o This patch implements the third solution.
