From 023bf6f1b8bf58dc4da7f0dc1cf4787b0d5297c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 11:27:40 +0900 Subject: linker script: unify usage of discard definition Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining tedious and adding new entries error-prone. This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script. ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion. defconfig compile tested for x86, x86-64, powerpc, powerpc64, ia64, alpha, sparc, sparc64 and s390.
