• 59c36455d   scripts/sortextable: support objects with more than 64K sections. ... Browse Code »

  Building with a large config and -ffunction-sections results in a large
  number of sections and sortextable needs to be able to handle that.
  Implement support for > 64K sections as modpost does.

• 8c0c774dd   scripts/sortextable: silence script output ... Browse Code »

  The exception table sorter outputs one line every time
  it gets called, e.g. 'sort done marker at 66dc00', which
  is slightly annoying when doing 'make -s' which is otherwise
  completely silent. Since that output is not helpful to
  most people building the kernel, turn it off by default.

• d59a16836   scripts/sortextable: Handle relative entries, and other cleanups ... Browse Code »

  x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its
  exception table, so we add a sorter for these. If there are
  relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably
  incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid
  and consistent.

  Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h

• a79f248b9   scripts: Add sortextable to sort the kernel's exception table. ... Browse Code »

  Using this build-time sort saves time booting as we don't have to burn
  cycles sorting the exception table.
