From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 20:31:44 +0000 (+0100) Subject: kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch analysis X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=91341d4b2c196c689acf90e9e96f28f8d5c6665f;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git kbuild: introduce new option to enhance section mismatch analysis Setting the option DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH will report additional section mismatch'es but this should in the end makes it possible to get rid of all of them. See help text in lib/Kconfig.debug for details.
