Since our text is -ffunction-sections compatible already, I question the need for transformations like this: > - *(.text.do_softirq) > - *(.text.sys_exit) > - *(.text.do_sigaltstack) > - *(.text.do_fork) > + *(.do_softirq.text) > + *(.sys_exit.text) > + *(.do_sigaltstack.text) > + *(.do_fork.text) And thus by the same token the data transformations.
