The post-build checking for section reference mismatches will help, although that seems to have got itself turned off (what happened there?). Did anyone look at writing a postprocessor for the .s files? It doesn't look like it will be too hard from an initial peek. Did anyone ask the gcc developers? I'd have thought that a function-wide __attribute__((__string_section__(foo)) wouldn't be a ton of work to implement. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
