The earlier patches in this series change the linker script to place it appropriately and set the phdr. It's allocated when its input sections are allocated. Current builds I've seen don't have any input note sections at all. My motivation is for the ld --build-id support, which generates an allocated note section as if it were input. > I have a patch to always do this, and also convert all the note > generation to C code rather than asm. If your patch works for you, > however, it should be completely orthogonal. What note generation do you mean? The only explicit notes in asm that I know of are in the vDSO images, not in vmlinux. This patch has nothing to do with any vDSO image's generation.
