Recently we have seen seveal changes to arch/*/vmlinux-lds.S,
mainly introduced by the module support but also other changes.
This is first version, where I have converted i386, s390 and sparc64.
The latter two is not tested, only to make sure it can be used by more
than one platform.
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds contains common definitions.
inserted below + three diffs.
i386/vmlinux.lds.S | 148 ++++++++++++++---------------------------------
s390/vmlinux.lds.S | 138 +++++++++++++-------------------------------
sparc64/vmlinux.lds.S | 156 +++++++++++++++++++-------------------------------
3 files changed, 149 insertions(+), 293 deletions(-)
The architecture specific files became smaller.
And adding new stuff is easier.
If this the correct way of doing it - or do you have any better ways
to do it?
Comments appreciated!
