[PATCH] 2.6.27-rc4-git3: make section names compatible with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Sun Aug 24 2008 - 19:16:35 EST


Hi Andrew,

You asked me to maintain it and resubmit when
merge frenzy is over.

Here is the update against current Linus tree
(which is 2.6.27-rc4-git3), rolled up into one patch.

James Bottomley suggested a different naming scheme:
instead of swapping parts (.text.head -> .head.text),
prepend .kernel to our special section names.
This patch implements his idea.

x86 and m68k have the following fix:

-.section ".text.head"
+.section ".kernel.text.head","ax",@progbits

In previous iteration I asked arch maintainers
to ACK/NAK this patch. There were a few ACKs, no NAKs.

Changelog follows:



The purpose of these patches is to make kernel buildable
with "gcc -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections".

The problem is that with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections gcc
creates sections like .text.head and .data.nosave
whenever someone has innocuous code like this:

static void head(...) {...}

or this:

int f(...) { static int nosave; ... }

somewhere in the kernel.

Kernel linker script is confused by such names and puts these sections
in wrong places.

This patch renames all "magic" section names used by kernel
to not have this format, eliminating the possibility of such collisions.
