[PATCH 0/2] Align MIPS swapper_pg_dir for faster code.

2012-08-14 Thread David Daney
From: David Daney The MIPS swapper_pg_dir needs 64K alignment for faster TLB refills in kernel mappings. There are two parts to the patch set: 1) Modify generic vmlinux.lds.h to allow architectures to place additional sections at the start of .bss. This allows alignment constraints to
