This breaks gold. I'll submit a v2 after the merge window with a fix. (It's a trivial change to the linker script and shouldn't meaningfully affect any effort to review this series.) > x86: Move the 32-bit vdso special pages after the text > x86: Move the vvar and hpet mappings next to the 64-bit vDSO > x86: Remove vestiges of VDSO_PRELINK and some outdated comments --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
