Subject: [PATCH] x86: Discard .note.gnu.property sections
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 13:14:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180924201459.35923-1-hjl.tools@gmail.com> (raw)
With the command-line option, -mx86-used-note=yes, the x86 assembler
in binutils 2.32 and above generates a program property note in a note
section, .note.gnu.property, to encode used x86 ISAs and features.
To exclude .note.gnu.property sections from NOTE segment in x86 kernel
linker script:
PHDRS {
text PT_LOAD FLAGS(5);
data PT_LOAD FLAGS(6);
percpu PT_LOAD FLAGS(6);
init PT_LOAD FLAGS(7);
note PT_NOTE FLAGS(0);
}
SECTIONS
{
...
.notes : AT(ADDR(.notes) - 0xffffffff80000000) { __start_notes = .; KEEP(*(.not
e.*)) __stop_notes = .; } :text :note
...
}
this patch discards .note.gnu.property sections in kernel linker script
by adding
/DISCARD/ : {
*(.note.gnu.property)
}
before .notes sections. Since .exit.text and .exit.data sections are
discarded at runtime, it undefines EXIT_TEXT and EXIT_DATA to exclude
.exit.text and .exit.data sections from default discarded sections.
