From ce697ccee1a8661da4e23fbe5f3d45d8d6922c20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2022 03:19:15 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove head-y syntax Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux. Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry point. A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script. Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section, which is placed before the normal ".text" section. I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner. I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.
