From f670bb760e7d32ec9c690e748a1d5d04921363ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 09:31:51 -0400 Subject: x86-64: Work around gold bug 13023 Gold has trouble assigning numbers to the location counter inside of an output section description. The bug was triggered by 9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7, which consolidated all of the vsyscall sections into a single section. The workaround is IMO still nicer than the old way of doing it. This produces an apparently valid kernel image and passes my vdso tests on both GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118 and GNU gold (version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118) 1.10 as distributed by Fedora 15.
