The script does not convert files in
scripts/
tools/
uapi/
and include/linux/compiler_attributes.h
It otherwise assumes that any __attribute__((__section__
use should be converted to __section.
If this ppc file is the only file outside of the
listed exclusions, I can either exclude it directly
or add compiler.h to it.
You have a preference?
Perhaps these are also possible files that need exclusions:
./arch/x86/boot/video.h:#define __videocard struct card_info __section(".videocards") __attribute__((used))
./arch/x86/boot/compressed/pgtable_64.c:unsigned long *trampoline_32bit __section(".data");
./arch/x86/boot/tty.c:static void __section(".inittext") serial_putchar(int ch)
./arch/x86/boot/tty.c:static void __section(".inittext") bios_putchar(int ch)
./arch/x86/boot/tty.c:void __section(".inittext") putchar(int ch)
./arch/x86/boot/tty.c:void __section(".inittext") puts(const char *str)
./arch/s390/boot/startup.c:static struct diag210 _diag210_tmp_dma __section(".dma.data");
./arch/powerpc/boot/main.c: __section("__builtin_cmdline");
./arch/powerpc/boot/ps3.c: __section("__builtin_cmdline");
