The handling of various sections in the VDSO linker script looks pretty haphazard. This patch series cleans it up in these regards:
- improve the coding style - remove superfluous sections - issue a linker error if a section is encountered which is known not to work - check that the .got section is empty, except for the three entries defined by the ABI - discard sections which are not useful to user-space
Petr Tesarik (8): x86: Adjust the coding style of vdso-layout.lds.S x86: Remove .sdata from the vDSO linker script x86: Remove .dynbss from the vDSO linker script x86: add .broken section to the vDSO linker script x86: mark altinstr-related sections in vDSO as broken x86: mark some standard sections as broken in a vDSO x86: check the size of GOT in vDSO x86: remove unneeded section from the vDSO
