I was thinking it'd be good to do this by modifying SYM_CODE_START() to emit the section, that way nobody can forget to put any SYM_CODE into a special section. That does mean we'd have to first introduce a newquoted
OK. I could make the section an argument to SYM_CODE*() so that a developer will never miss that. Some documentation may be in order so the guidelines are clear. I will do the doc patch separately, if that is alright with you all.I was thinking to have standard SYM_CODE default to a section then a variant for anything that cares (like how we have SYM_FUNC_PI and friends for the PI code for EFI).
OK.

We also have a bunch of things like __cpu_soft_restart which don't seem to be called out here but need to be in .idmap.text.quoted
It is already in .idmap.text.Right, I meant that I was expecting to see things that need to be in a specific section other than .code.text called out separately here if we're enumerating them. Though if the annotations are done separately then this patch wouldn't need to do that calling out at all, it'd be covered as part of fiddling around with the annotations.
OK. Madhavan _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
