From b28242e7e3c08072251da6d7bc4895fbd3e58299 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Ravnborg Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 23:09:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: ignore section mismatch warnings originating from .note section .note* sections are ELF notes, which are typically used by external tools to examine the kernel image. Since this is removed from any runtime consideration, it's OK to reference any section from a .note* section. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: "Eric W.
