This patch series cleans up the section names on the alpha architecture. It requires the architecture-independent macro definitions from this patch series: <http://www.spinics.net/lists/mips/msg33499.html> The long-term goal here is to add support for building the kernel with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections. This requires renaming all the magic section names in the kernel of the form .text.foo, .data.foo, .bss.foo, and .rodata.foo to not have collisions with sections generated for code like: static int nosave = 0; /* -fdata-sections places in .data.nosave */ static void head(); /* -ffunction-sections places in .text.head */ Note that these patches have not been boot-tested (aside from testing the analogous changes on x86), since I don't have access to the appropriate hardware. -Tim Abbott Tim Abbott (4): alpha: Use macros for .data.page_aligned. alpha: use new macro for .data.cacheline_aligned section. alpha: make THREAD_SIZE available to assembly files. alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread arch/alpha/include/asm/thread_info.h | 4 ++-- arch/alpha/kernel/init_task.c | 5 ++--- arch/alpha/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 19 ++++--------------- 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-alpha" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
