Subject: [MIPS] Discard .exit.text at runtime.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc6~50
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb7d83f74477b41a2dee71771805c8447cdaa70f;p=linux-2.6

[MIPS] Discard .exit.text at runtime.

At times gcc will place bits of __exit functions into .rodata.  If
compiled into the kernle itself we used to discard .exit.text - but
not the bits left in .rodata.  While harmless this did at times result
in a large number of warnings.  So until gcc fixes this, discard
.exit.text at runtime.
