2014-01-23microblaze: extable: sort the exception table at build timeMichal Simek1-0/+5
Sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Microblaze is the same case as AARCH64 that's why EM_MICROBLAZE conditional check was added to allow cross-compilation on machines which are not running the latest libc-dev. Inspired by AARCH64 commit adace89562c7 ("arm64: extable: sort the exception table at build time").

2013-11-13scripts/sortextable: support objects with more than 64K sections.Jamie Iles1-0/+24
Building with a large config and -ffunction-sections results in a large number of sections and sortextable needs to be able to handle that. Implement support for > 64K sections as modpost does.

2013-06-12arm64: extable: sort the exception table at build timeWill Deacon1-0/+5
As is done for other architectures, sort the exception table at build-time rather than during boot. Since sortextable appears to be a standalone C program relying on the host elf.h to provide EM_AARCH64, I've had to add a conditional check in order to allow cross-compilation on machines that aren't running a bleeding-edge libc-dev.

2012-11-04ARM: 7568/1: Sort exception table at compile timeStephen Boyd1-0/+1
Add the ARM machine identifier to sortextable and select the config option so that we can sort the exception table at compile time. sortextable relies on a section named __ex_table existing in the vmlinux, but ARM's linker script places the exception table in the data section. Give the exception table its own section so that sortextable can find it. This allows us to skip the sorting step during boot.

2012-09-26s390/exceptions: switch to relative exception table entriesHeiko Carstens1-5/+5
This is the s390 port of 70627654 "x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries". Reduces the size of our exception tables by 50% on 64 bit builds. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2012-04-24scripts/sortextable: Handle relative entries, and other cleanupsDavid Daney1-60/+111
x86 is now using relative rather than absolute addresses in its exception table, so we add a sorter for these. If there are relocations on the __ex_table section, they are redundant and probably incorrect after the sort, so they are zeroed out leaving them valid and consistent. Also use the unaligned safe accessors from tools/{be,le}_byteshift.h Signed-off-by: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1335291795-26693-2-git-send-email-ddaney.cavm@gmail.com Signed-off-by: H.
