From 08fdffd4cf4ddd4eb4b32e78f93f4ff53ccec78f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 15:15:45 +0100 Subject: [ARM] Ensure head text is always placed at the start of kernel Commit 86c0baf123e474b6eb404798926ecf62b426bf3a highlighted that we may end up with the head text placed elsewhere in the kernel image. Introduce a new .text.head section to contain the initial kernel startup code, and always place this section at the beginning of the kernel image.
