From c6b33cc4e9882b44f1b0c36396f420076e04a4e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Segher Boessenkool Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 11:41:47 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix insta-reboot with "i386: Relocatable kernel support" Commit 968de4f02621db35b8ae5239c8cfc6664fb872d8 ("i386: Relocatable kernel support") caused problems for people with old binutils versions that didn't mark ".text.*" sections automatically allocated. So we should use .section command to specifically mark .text.head section as AX (allocatable and executable) to solve the problem. This should be unnecessary with binutils 2.15 and later, which is already three years old, but it doesn't hurt supporting older toolchains where possible.
