[PATCH v2 0/3] Linker script cleanup patches for alpha

From: Tim Abbott
Date: Wed Sep 16 2009 - 12:42:51 EST


This is an updated version of the patch series I sent in late July
cleaning up the alpha architecture's linker scripts. There are some
fixes based on comments from Richard Henderson; it has also been
rebased on top of Linus's current master.

This cross-architecture linker script cleanup project is in
preparation for adding support for building the kernel with
-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, which is a prerequisite for
Ksplice.

Geoffrey Thomas (1):
alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.

Tim Abbott (2):
alpha: use .data.init_task instead of .data.init_thread.
Optimize the ordering of sections in RW_DATA_SECTION.
