From b9b32bf70f2fb710b07c94e13afbc729afe221da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2013 12:03:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs Use linker magic to create the vectors and vector stubs: we can tell the linker to place them at an appropriate VMA, but keep the LMA within the kernel. This gets rid of some unnecessary symbol manipulation, and have the linker calculate the relocations appropriately.
