[PATCH 3/4] kernel linker stripts: accomodate function and data sections
From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Wed Jul 28 2010 - 19:48:42 EST
gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections places each function foo
into separate section .text.foo, and every data object bar into
separate section .data.bar, .rodata.bar or .bss.bar.
Kernel linker scripts were not ready for this and linker heuristics
for orphaned sections were not good enough to result in bootable
kernel.
This fix adds *(.text.*), *(.data.*) etc patterns
directly after corresponding *(.text), *(.data) etc patterns
in all kernel linker scripts. Boot scripts will be handled
in the next fix.
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h is a little bit more complicated.
It needs to avoid collecting special kernel sections
by using more restrictive patterns like *(.text.[A-Za-z0-9_$^]*)
instead of simplistic *(.text.*): special kernel sections like
.text..page_aligned contain double dots and won't be accidentally
matched by them.
