This patch series cleans up the section names on the mips 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): mips: use NOSAVE_DATA macro for .data.nosave section. mips: use new macro for .data.cacheline_aligned section. mips: use new macros for .data.init_task. mips: use .text, not .text.start, for lasat boot loader. arch/mips/kernel/init_task.c | 5 ++--- arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S | 19 +++---------------- arch/mips/lasat/image/head.S | 2 +- arch/mips/lasat/image/romscript.normal | 2 +- 4 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-)
