[PATCH 00/13] Linker script cleanup patches for various architectures

From: Tim Abbott
Date: Tue Sep 22 2009 - 10:23:21 EST


Hi Linus,

This patch series contains patches cleaning up the linker scripts on
several architectures architectures (as well as one improvement to the
architecture-independent macros). Everything here has been acked or
reviewed by Sam Ravnborg. Please merge.

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.
