From 3bfb7224566593219dbd67474dacb23ef7c080e3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Daney Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2015 00:54:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: OCTEON: omit ELF NOTE segments OCTEON Pre-SDK-1.8.1 bootloaders can not handle PT_NOTE program headers, so do not emit them. Before the patch: $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file) Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0 There are 2 program headers, starting at offset 64 Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000 0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360 RWE 1000 NOTE 0x00000000004e02e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0xffffffff815df2e0 0x0000000000000024 0x0000000000000024 R 4 After the patch: $ readelf --program-headers octeon-vmlinux Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file) Entry point 0xffffffff815d09d0 There are 1 program headers, starting at offset 64 Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align LOAD 0x0000000000001000 0xffffffff81100000 0xffffffff81100000 0x0000000000b57f80 0x0000000001b86360 RWE 1000 The patch was tested on DSR-1000N router.
