From f8850abb7ba68229838014b3409460e576751c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller Date: Sun, 9 Oct 2016 11:12:34 +0200 Subject: parisc: Fix kernel memory layout regarding position of __gp Architecturally we need to keep __gp below 0x1000000. But because of ftrace and tracepoint support, the RO_DATA_SECTION now gets much bigger than it was before. By moving the linkage tables before RO_DATA_SECTION we can avoid that __gp gets positioned at a too high address.
