[PATCH 07/29] x86: Restore "text" Program Header with dummy section

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

 



Instead of depending on markings in the section following NOTES to
restore the associated Program Header, use a dummy section, as done
in other architectures. This is preparation for moving NOTES into the
RO_DATA macro.
