The .text.unlikely section is used for code which is considered to be unlikely to ever executed. The compiler should only generate it if you use the -freorder-blocks-and-partition option. Of course it's possible that the kernel itself uses it, though I suppose that is not the case if you don't see it when compiling with 3.4.6. Ian
