Subject: [PATCH v6 22/22] x86/boot: Get rid of the .head.text section
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:27:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250722072708.2079165-46-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250722072708.2079165-24-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
The .head.text section is now empty, so it can be dropped from the
linker script.
