o Older binutils (older than 2.6.15) require explicit flags to be set for section. (if a section has been defined using "section" directive). Otherwise a section which should have been allocatable and executable (AX) will not have properties as per intention. o I had put a patch in -mm which will break the things if used with older binutils. Hence this is the fix on top of that patch. http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.20-rc2/2.6.20-rc2-mm1/broken-out/i386-move-startup_32-in-texthead-section.patch Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- arch/i386/kernel/head.S | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff -puN arch/i386/kernel/head.S~i386-modify-section-directive-for-older-binutils arch/i386/kernel/head.S --- linux-2.6.20-rc2-mm1-reloc/arch/i386/kernel/head.S~i386-modify-section-directive-for-older-binutils 2007-01-03 11:58:51.000000000 +0530 +++ linux-2.6.20-rc2-mm1-reloc-root/arch/i386/kernel/head.S 2007-01-03 12:00:03.000000000 +0530 @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ * any particular GDT layout, because we load our own as soon as we * can. */ -.section .text.head +.section .text.head,"ax",@progbits ENTRY(startup_32) #ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT @@ -155,9 +155,9 @@ page_pde_offset = (__PAGE_OFFSET >> 20); */ #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU -.section .text +.section .text,"ax",@progbits #else -.section .init.text +.section .init.text,"ax",@progbits #endif #ifdef CONFIG_SMP _ _______________________________________________ fastboot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/fastboot
