Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says: This series renews one of my last year RFC patch[1], tries to improve the vdso layout a bit. patch1 removes useless symbols patch2 merges .data section of vdso into .rodata because they are readonly patch3 is the real renew patch, it removes hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr. But I rewrite the commit msg per Andrew's suggestions and move move .note, .eh_frame_hdr, and .eh_frame between .rodata and .text to keep the actual code well away from the non-instruction data. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: vdso.lds.S: remove hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr riscv: vdso.lds.S: merge .data section into .rodata section riscv: vdso.lds.S: drop __alt_start and __alt_end symbols Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20221123161805.1579-1-jszhang@kernel.org/ [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230912072015.2424-1-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
