Hi folks, I have a question with regard to the vmlinux.lds found in arch/i386/ I was comparing the same file between the original kernel of 2.4.28, redhat9.0 and mandrake9.2. I found that mandrake9.2 differs from the other two greatly in that the .bss section is found in the middle of the kernel stack while the same section is found at the end of the other two. Is it correct for me to say that it is inconsequential how the bss section and the init code and data is being arranged? either one can come first? Where can I find more about the reasons behind the arrangement? Many thanks for help! -- cheers, jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
