Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] x86: Add an option to compile with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
From: Waseem Daher <wdaher@....edu>
This patch makes it possible to link and boot an x86 kernel with
-ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections enabled.
Modpost currently warns whenever it sees a section with a name
matching [.][0-9]+$ because they are often caused by section flag
mismatch errors. When compiling with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections, gcc places various classes of local symbols in
sections with names such as .rodata.__func__.12345, causing these
warnings to be printed spuriously. The simplest fix is to disable the
warning when CONFIG_FUNCTION_DATA_SECTIONS is enabled.
