[PATCH 5/9] x86: make sure _etext includes function sections

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We will be using -ffunction-sections to place each function in
it's own text section so it can be randomized at load time. The
linker considers these .text.* sections "orphaned sections", and
will place them after the first similar section (.text). However,
we need to move _etext so that it is after both .text and .text.*
We also need to calculate text size to include .text AND .text.*
