  • f02e8a659   module: Sort exported symbols ... Browse Code »
    45

    This patch places every exported symbol in its own section
    (i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive
    to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section
    (i.e. "__ksymtab").

    The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols.
    To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary
    section names.

    This work was supported by a hardware donation from the CE Linux Forum.

  • 405d967dc   linker script: throw away .discard section ... Browse Code »

    x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do. Also,
    .discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch
    and module linking throw it away. This will be used to define dummy
    variables for percpu declarations and definitions.

    This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

    [ Impact: always throw away everything in .discard ]
