given the amount of common content between
arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_32.lds.S and arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S,
what about just defining macros for some of that stuff in
arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S and cutting down on all the duplication?
as is done in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.S, why not just
define some handy macros, like:
#define INITRAMFS(align) \
. = ALIGN(align); \
.init.ramfs : AT(ADDR(.init.ramfs) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \
__initramfs_start = .; \
*(.init.ramfs) \
__initramfs_end = .; \
}
or something similar.
i'm guessing there's a fair amount of content like that that can be
coalesced, no? it would also standardize some of the niggling
differences between some of that content between the two files.
