Subject: [PATCH] x86: avoid warning for zero-filling .bss
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:17:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161116141726.2013389-1-arnd@arndb.de> (raw)
The latest binutils are warning about a .fill directive with an explicit
value in a .bss section:
arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:677: Warning: ignoring fill value in section `.bss..page_aligned'
arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:679: Warning: ignoring fill value in section `.bss..page_aligned'
This comes from the 'ENTRY()' macro padding the space between the symbols
with 'nop'. Open-coding the .globl directive without the padding
avoids that warning.
