Subject: [PATCH] ppc32: discard *.exit.text and *.exit.data sections
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6a00cbfcf8ffdd719cb5a27e1a0a9779665d1e23;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] ppc32: discard *.exit.text and *.exit.data sections

Discard *.exit.text sections on runtime.  We cannot do this on link time
because of the way BUG macros are implemented.  If "__exit function" calls
one of those macros, __bug_table section will reference this function.
This is similar to ".altinstructions" situation on i386.

*.exit.data seems to be OK in this respect and is discarded on link
time.
