From 405d967dc70002991f8fc35c20e0d3cbc7614f63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:13:38 +0900 Subject: linker script: throw away .discard section x86 throws away .discard section but no other archs do. Also, .discard is not thrown away while linking modules. Make every arch and module linking throw it away. This will be used to define dummy variables for percpu declarations and definitions. This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.
