From 9c9b8b388296ad5a306ab238dc677cfe6ff4cb12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 23:32:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinux This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for other architectures will be as simple. This change also adds , which defines C and Assembler macros for actually creating ELF notes. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Eric W.
